vocabulary 890 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 i think my friend is like that... she's mixed, but keeps acting like she's xx when she's only 1/8 or 1/4 xx (i don't rmb). she denies many things about her other race. always saying she doesn't know, doesn't understand despite being brought up to learn about it. but in general, what do u think? i find it sad... Btw just wanna say that her race is the majority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vocabulary 890 Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 In Sweden everyone's ashamed of being white. If I say that I like being white I'm labeled as racist. Fucked up country. then what would they rather be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The.coups 134 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I'm literally 1/2 Australian and 1/2 the rest of the world combined (because everyone up my mum's side is mixed) and I'm having an identity crisis, like what do you call me? I'm not white or identify with anything and I get really confused when people ask what race I am. That is why I wish I was a definite mix or definitely one race, as I think I'd be better off. I'm not ashamed of it though, just that I think it would be easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peach Macaron 1,979 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I'd feel sad, but understanding. I used to hate the fact that I was Mexican when I was younger. I felt weird and different and I never liked my friends meeting my parents because they could never speak English that well or I'd have to translate for them. If I saw someone ashamed of their race I'd want to help them, and see that there's nothing to be ashamed of~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OUO 3,660 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 It depends. If it's self-hate then I'd feel bad for them and hope they can learn to love and accept themselves but if they're projecting the hate towards other members of the same race then I have no sympathy.

Merleawe 14 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I don't think we have a right to decide whether or not someone is "pathetic" for not being proud of their race. If she's comfortable, she's comfortable. If she's not, she's not. It's up to her to decide whether or not she wants to accept it. "Helping her" isn't helping. If you want to help her "accept her race", then you've obviously already judged her for what you feel is a transgression of not liking her race "enough". It's not up to you to draw that line.

shocking blue 7,514 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 it's sad. I've been there. If you are raised in a country where your race is the minority, sometimes you can't help growing up wishing you were the majority race. Especially if it's accepted or normal for people to make jokes about your race, your name, the food you eat...teachers ignore it so what can you do as a child but laugh along? Now I love my race (or you know, I'm perfectly happy with it) but it took my whole childhood to reach that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrayCray 2,636 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I know people like that. Especially some Koreaboos. They wanna be Korean so bad, they hate being their own race for that reason. SMH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
