soo im multiracial so you can figure out that im the result of an interracial pairing more than once. the whole thing has been so complicated my whole life. i don’t see white/poc pairings as very revolutionary but maybe it’s just because in my family it is white/Asian and... i tend to distrust white people who go for Asian people (especially white men and E Asian women, as it is). and people always assume being mixed race means having a white parent.
my parents are interracial with neither being white, which is almost never represented. i wish this was acknowledged and talked about more. i feel like it is more revoutionary to have a interracial couple with no white partner
i am in a relationship with a white person. i feel weird about it sometimes, like... guilt? that i keep going for white people. and like im letting down my father (it’s a weird thing).
i’ve always wondered if im more acceptable to white people for being part white. is it the lighter skin? (for the record, i do not consider myself light skinned but i dont consider myself dark skinned either cuz im... in the middle). does it give me more eurocentric features? are people into how it makes me “exotic”? do they fetishize me for being mixed? the answer is yes, all of it.
and then people have been garbage about my mom, being S Asian and darker skinned and making all sorts of sexualized comments about her and also her pairing with my dad.
