I am biracial but don't look like my family. I don't see my Australian (Dad's) side of my family and I am very close with my Sri Lankan (Mum's) side but I don't look related to them. I am loved by them but PHYSICALLY, I don't fit in. (In large family gatherings, I have often been mistaken for a relative's girlfriend and not actually a relative.) I see myself as cut in half - but feel my Sri Lankan side is much stronger than the other, mainly because I am so much more connected to my Lankan family than Australian. I am biracial...but whenever I say that, or say I am Sri Lankan (which I have the right to), I am either critized or laughed at for being too "white". I am well aware that I have more of my father's pigmentation than my mother's...but I am both of them. I was born here but I am both Sri Lankan AND Australian. The Duchess of Sussex (Meghan Markle), Bob Marley, Frida Kahlo & Halle Berry are just some of the awesome biracial people who have spoken about embracing BOTH sides of their ethnicities. I am of both Sri Lankan and Australian blood and I am proud of my roots. I am biracial whether one thinks I look it or not. #WithInAndWithOut #Biracial #Mixed #BiracialPride #MixedPride #SriLankan #Australian #Burgher #Family #Identity #Belonging #Melanin #Pigmentation #SkinCokour

Yeah! Being biracial can be complicated. You don't really fit in anywhere (& it can be hard when you don't look like your family). . . . . . . . . . . . . #Mixed #MixedPride #BiracialPride #Biracial #MixedGirl
