Being Mixed Race

Whats the most difficult thing about being someone of mixed race?
And how do you cope?


For me, its this identification- non-identification I feel with both racial heritages.

Learning to accept myself, and my family, and the place that brought us all together is important. but its a balancing act that i havent yet mastered.

 

What races are you? If you dont mind me asking
I cant answer your question though because i am not of mixed races

 

Mixed races are sexy sorry for being off topic

 

I don't find any challenge in it. I think it's friggin' awesome!

If you're wondering, I'm 1/2 African-Caribbean, 1/2 European (German and Danish).


Feels good!

 

I find mixed race people exotic. Like a neo global person if that makes any sense. lol

 

I'm 6% Cherokee and I gotta tell you it's tough out there for us.

 

I'm pure Canadian...so I really can't give advice on this.

I wish I had some Native background though...the tax breaks are pretty good here for status card holders.

 

I'm a bit Irish and Jew. I am a bit of a drunk and I control the media, but otherwise, I'm completely unconnected with my ethnic heritage.

The other half is adoption so I could be about anything. I think I do lose a little bit of something being completely clueless about my heritage. But I travel a lot to try and meet new and exciting people.

Being multiracial seems fortuitous really. :biggrin:

 

It can be hard. I don't know how I cope to be honest.


Most people always ask me what it's like to be Irish, and I flip out, telling them I'm equally as Scottish. They always assume I'm Irish though. So insulting.

I have 5-7 beer at a restaurant and they start with the Irish slurs. Fucking pricks. I'm Scottish too, but they always assume the worst...

 

Sarcasm will get you nowhere.

Actually it's gotten me actions several times.

Well played.

 

I know, man, I have like 15% Cherokee(? We'll just go with Cherokee, they seem to frequent the area my family came from) and these fucking whiteys keep coming and trying to take my land and give me smallpox and shit. Fucking dicks.

 

You are 3/20ths something?


I'm 2/27ths Jeep Wrangler

Cheers Glen.

 

im half martian half human :biker: :mickey:

 

i'm a little bit of everything*. i'm glad i get to just be myself instead of being forced to identify with some stupid "heritage."









*everything excludes people of color, except the indians.

 

The hardest part in my family is the "battle of the heritages."

I have one side telling me to embrace my Irish roots...

Another side telling me to embrace my Italian roots...

A few telling me to embrace my German roots...

And of course, the Welsh, Dutch, French, and British roots...

I've made my own damn nationality, fuck the rest of them

 

and the hairdresser side telling you to dye your dark roots...

 

I watched a movie on netflix yesterday called Skin. It was really stupid. It was about two supposedly white looking parents who gave birth to their biological daughter. The daughter was seemingly black. The story line was based out of South Africa in the late 1950s to 70s. I guess you can imagine how that played out and what have you. The acting was horrible, and I do not recommend it. I personally think the bitch cheated on her husband with a bruddah.

 

This is a topic I am really interested in, I'm all Caucasian but my boyfriend is Korean, and I have a major thing for Asian boys, so I'm predicting Eurasian babies. :sunny:

 

I'm half man half woman.
