Today I had this weird realization I guess? I hope I don't get banned for racebait, I'm not really trying to start anything, I just need to put this somewhere because my friends wouldn't understand.
So today I wore a dress to run an errand, nothing too crazy, I've been losing weight so I've been feeling better about myself.
But when I got home and took a shower, I noticed that I didn't perfectly shaved my legs, and I went out like this, and I didn't care, I still felt nice because I like to wear that short dress that looks better on me now that I've been working out and such.
And I remembered what my best friend said, that when she was visiting Europe, she didn't feel like she needed to shave at all, she felt perfectly fine as she is. But that made me remember how I felt like I was being judged harshly while visiting Europe because of my skin color, even though I probably, if not, surely I have a more stable life than the average European person of my age back then which let me travel back and forth.
I felt like I was being judged terribly like how I felt traveling to the Arab emirates, like everyone thought I was walking trash and that no matter what I wore, everyone felt as uncomfortable around me as I felt around everyone else.
At stores I would get followed around even though I subconsciously put my hands behind my back or just as close to my body as possible because I don't want to seem to be stealing. I also felt like people were pretty rude in general, specially at restaurants or any establishment really. It wasn't all of the time but it was still pretty uncomfortable.
It's kind of crazy to me how two people can have such different experiences even if they have the same passport.
Whenever I travel I feel like I have to look perfect all of the time, sometimes I even wear high heels and makeup. But my best friend was capable of just feeling comfortable and being herself, and like she was just part of the crowd.
I need to stop thinking about these things whenever I travel or just go out in general.

I know a lot of kids like you that think they can pass as white, and even call themselves albino mexicans for some reason lol for simply being pale skinned but you can tell they're not white and then get shocked when white people pin them down and ostracise them
Also, racist whites like that will hate you for simply knowing Spanish, they have an inferiority complex about it

I just learned the culture of my ancestors enabled systematic child abuse and I'm not sure how to process it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sacrifice_in_pre-Columbian_cultures
>According to Bernardino de Sahagún, the Aztecs believed that, if sacrifices were not given to Tlaloc, the rain would not come and their crops would not grow. Archaeologists have found the remains of 42 children sacrificed to Tlaloc (and a few to Ehecátl Quetzalcóatl) in the offerings of the Great Pyramid of Tenochtitlan. In every case, the 42 children, mostly males aged around six, were suffering from serious cavities, abscesses or bone infections that would have been painful enough to make them cry continually. Tlaloc required the tears of the young so their tears would wet the earth. As a result, if children did not cry, the priests would sometimes tear off the children's nails before the ritual sacrifice.[7]
>In History of the Things of New Spain Sahagún confesses he was aghast by the fact that, during the first month of the year, the child sacrifices were approved by their own parents, who also ate their children.[9]Tlaloc, by the way, rules over Tlalocan in the movie Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. I'm not sure why Disney thought honoring a brutal god who demanded the tears of children was a good idea.

>>389466>>389429 Both these comments are so funny because I’ve been thinking about this for years atp.
One of my parents is 100% European, non Hispanic, and the other is mestizo. I am actually white looking. Not the way Hispanic people use the word “blanco/a”, where all you need is to have ambiguous features and slightly lighter skin, but fitz level 1 skin, strawberry blonde hair, green eyes, and have my white parent’s facial features.
Once, there was this guy who didn’t believe I was anything other than white until I showed him pics of my family. This is a fully Polish boomer moid from the NE. As soon as I proved it to him, the flip switched, and I was no longer white to him. “You can look white, but you’re not actually white” is what he said during the convo lol.
Which is literally true. I’m like 81% euro and 19% native according to dna testing. The race thing doesn’t bother me idc. But I remember my fully white neighbor saying something that realllly pissed me off when we were kids. She asked, “What’s your ethnicity?”, and I replied with both my parents’ backgrounds. She followed up with, “Yeah but you’re not
really [insert Euro culture] like me, you’re just Hispanic!”. Man that shit gets me angry just thinking about it today lol. She didn’t realize, since we were children, she was erasing one of my parents in favor of the other, but omfggg I cannot stand this. I love both my parents, proud of both them, and someone “taking away” one due to the other…that’s just how some people operate.
The point is that you can literally be a redhead with blue eyes and unquestionably WASP-y features. It doesn’t matter. If you’re mixed with anything, INCLUDING an ethnicity outside of Europe, some people will not consider you white, or they won’t consider you “actually” white or smthn, to the point that if you’re mixed, you are now labeled under “Hispanic” in their mind, even if you’re closer to the non-Hispanic parent’s culture.
I feel like a lot of Hispanic people who haven’t been around white people that think like this get offended/insulted/sad because you were constantly told that you’re the blanca of the family. You’re treated better too, if we’re being real. You’re the light one, the one with pretty eyes, the one with red cheeks, the one with the “better” genes (fuck mejor la raza btw) etc. Just for stupid bullshit like that, we’re unfairly favored.
It can become a huge problem especially for immigrants. For example, I have a little niece who gets told she’s “white” by my family, even though she’s very obviously mestiza. My niece calls her brothers “negros” teasingly bc this is what the family taught her to do. It’s just the culture, right? But one day, my niece is going to grow up, and she’s going to realize that actual white people around her don’t view her as one of them, and in fact may treat her a little less than, and it’s going to suck at first because of the retarded colorism her parents taught her.
I can’t relate as far as perception on first impressions go of my race, but when it comes to the cultural thing, hell yeah, it drives me up the wall. I grew up in a 90% white town just north of one of the most diverse areas in the U.S.; ironically, this has only happened to me 3x. But with that being said, I kinda wish more of us - both full and half - were aware that there are parts of the country where, again, it just doesn’t matter. You’re not going to be viewed as one them, at least not all of them, and that’s okay. It’s just that the colorism and racialism we’re surrounded by in our families doesn’t fit into the strict parameters of the American view of race/ethnicity.
