Hey, so I am Guatemalan and well, basically the same thing happened. (Yano, the fact that the europeans raped the natives). I don't live in Guatemala anymore, but they used to do the same thing. Where they would define things by the way you look. If you had a flat face, you were considered more Guatemalan than European.

Listen, I did a 23 and me thingy. It just says I'm Native American due to the history being all jacked up there. Like, I don't remember the exact percent, But I was around 53% Native American, which I assume is just... me being a typical Hispanic. Idk... It's weird. Even though I don't live there, and I now live in America people call me all sorts of races, from being hispanic, too black, to being a Native American.

And I'm definitely not black (Not saying that as a bad thing, I mean I am 0.04%, but... I'm just not going to count that). But I don't even know how to answer the question, without feeling like I have to put a label somewhere. God damn.

I fucking hate labels~ sorry but it's true. I also came here to vent so... Yeah.
All I'm saying is that many people are racist and It sucks. But there is honestly nothing you can do about it. It does suck. I can understand people being curious about it, But shit y'all don't have to be up my ass.

Honestly at this point Im literally mixing race with sexuality because I'm so damn tired right now lmao. I'm so done. Alright I'm out. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

This is something I struggle with a lot. I look very white, but my mom was a Colombian immigrant. We have a little bit of everything--African, Native American, Jewish, Northern European, etc. The rest of my family has tan skin, dark hair, and dark eyes. They look more like what they are. No one would ever guess I am anything besides 100% white. And so I generally don't claim to be anything but white. I say that my family is Colombian, but I don't claim that for myself because I don't look like it and I don't speak Spanish fluently. I get white privilege; no one ever discriminates against me. So how much can I claim fairly? I don't know. I never know quite what to call myself because everything feels like a bit of a lie. I'm always afraid that someone will get upset and say that I'm not allowed whatever label or identity.
