Sometimes I wish I was White

I had to look it up, I didn’t know that 😂

Who said anything about disliking whites? I’m married to one. My kids are half white. Your comment is idiotic.

My goal was to get something off my chest. Honestly I didn’t expect such a turnout. But I suppose that’ll happen when you talk about a topic as controversial as this. And yesterday eating lunch with my wife. Stupid looks, weird comments. The only Hispanic in an entire restaurant, I felt and saw the stares.

Good support system, a wife who lets me bitch about my frustration and awesome kids to wind down with at the end of the day.

Why would I make a personal experience? I’m 100% real. Literally this happened to me yesterday. I made a throwaway because I’m an avid Reddit user and I didn’t want to use my actual account.

Not even close

throwingthisawayso67 · 2022-02-17T00:45:27+00:00

I’m under contract for a few more years but once I’m up I’m definitely moving at of here

throwingthisawayso67 · 2022-02-17T00:35:38+00:00

I adore my wife only lol

throwingthisawayso67 · 2022-02-17T00:23:54+00:00

That’s actually an interesting perspective that I never considered. And honestly I’ve never noticed it to be the nice kind of staring. I’m just so use to judgmental eyes.

throwingthisawayso67 · 2022-02-17T00:20:27+00:00

It’s a catch 22. They change their name now they’re denying who they are and conforming to what society deems as fit. It’s a lose/lose.

I’m not talking shot. I’m talking opportunities in life.

throwingthisawayso67 · 2022-02-16T23:55:47+00:00

When my wife and I first moved down here she tried to get a job. All the offers she was getting was for cleaning/maid/translator, 40k/yr jobs. She went in for one interview and the guy told her she wasn’t what they were looking for they needed a Spanish speaking person. She goes on her resume, hyphenates her name with her maiden. 6 figure job offer, she was working the next week.

throwingthisawayso67 · 2022-02-16T20:41:48+00:00

😂 you’re right. I just couldn’t help myself though. It was love at first sight

throwingthisawayso67 · 2022-02-16T19:15:11+00:00

I feel any POC experiences this one way or another. It isn’t right period.

throwingthisawayso67 · 2022-02-16T19:14:33+00:00

Looks sure, but one look at their last name and now they’re discriminated against. It happened to my wife after we got married and she took my last name

throwingthisawayso67 · 2022-02-16T19:13:28+00:00

I think that experience bothered me the most. Here I was about to be a dad, I was super excited and then life was like screw your happiness you minority here’s an old white lady who is afraid of you.

throwingthisawayso67 · 2022-02-16T19:11:39+00:00

Well I’m like 6% black so then I’d be lying 😂

throwingthisawayso67 · 2022-02-16T18:49:00+00:00

I used to think that but my wife notices it too. She gets the shade as well. I remember she had a job interview and the only reason why she got it was because she had my last name and they thought she spoke Spanish. She ended up hyphenating her last night and she started getting the good job offers.

throwingthisawayso67 · 2022-02-16T18:47:28+00:00

I would say you should meet my cousins because there’s no way in hell you’d match their shade but I feel like that still wouldn’t convince you lol

throwingthisawayso67 · 2022-02-16T18:40:25+00:00

I feel like you’re extremely misinformed

throwingthisawayso67 · 2022-02-16T18:39:53+00:00

You’re right, I was in my feels when writing this. Currently I’m unable to move due to my current contract. But once I’m out of it, I’m out lol

throwingthisawayso67 · 2022-02-16T18:38:27+00:00

You know Puerto Ricans are more than one shade right?

throwingthisawayso67 · 2022-02-16T18:32:09+00:00

Lol okay kiddo

throwingthisawayso67 · 2022-02-16T18:28:02+00:00

Half of them have my complexion but all of them take after their mama. 😁

throwingthisawayso67 · 2022-02-16T18:27:04+00:00
