Haha true, but then I think of it like this - I’m sure my white ancestors wouldn’t want to perpetuate systems of racism or oppression, or for their descendants to go through that. I think they’d be on our side for equality and equal treatment

Yeah. I try to think so too. I feel like as a mixed race I better watch my words... I won’t pretend I am not of european descent and act like I am not of european descent.

I appreciate you both so much for sharing this bc its something I don't know about--how mixed people w/ white ancestors feel. Or even just how ppl who are mixed feel.

It's strange being in that liminal position. You can't be an idiot about it. It's upsetting when people like me act like they're soo oppressed when really, they have the good side of the beating stick smacking them.

I feel like the world would be a better place if people didn't have to suppress parts of themselves bc they're ashamed of their "blood". But at the same time I wish these colonial burdens weren't put upon us in the first place.
