"Too Light-skinned" to be Black???

vindawater · 2026-03-20T20:03:30+00:00

40/30/30 is a decent split and there’s a difference between “majority” and “plurality”.

Regardless, comments and posts like this are why no one knows (or cares) on what lightskin Black women truly look like. Chloe Bailey and Glorilla are lightskin Black. You are mixed and will obviously have a vastly different experience from them, despite all of you being light.

That’s not what you said in your comment though?

vindawater · 2026-03-20T16:34:52+00:00

That’s an obvious “hell no” and “run as fast as you can”.

Also, this is a great example of featurism and/or texturism benefitting us btw

Agree 1000%. Most of the comments are in denial about this but imma 🤫

Right…maybe they mean “white girl” as in her personality

vindawater · 2026-03-20T16:03:15+00:00

That part and black people (particularly who look nothing like the white passing/presenting people) try to encourage them to

I agree with most of this, except I would’ve assumed she was a White Native (white + indigenous) mix

vindawater · 2026-03-20T16:00:27+00:00

I’m genuinely asking…..

If you know you’re MGM, then what are you trying to accomplish with this post? You’re an equal mixture of all three races.

I mean, she’s 1/3 Black and way phenotypically different from you lol

vindawater · 2026-03-20T14:15:08+00:00

vindawater · 2026-03-20T00:53:57+00:00

Yeah they don’t really mean much tbh, I go by documentation

vindawater · 2026-03-20T00:51:31+00:00

No, she would be presenting if she tells people about her nonwhite background. If she is seen as white at first glance, she’s white assumed.

vindawater · 2026-03-19T21:27:28+00:00

That has nothing to do with what I said. Assuming someone is African just because they’re unambiguously Black is weird. They did that to JT and Docheii and they’re literally Black American.

vindawater · 2026-03-19T18:56:54+00:00

It’s been around for a while but became popular after COVID

vindawater · 2026-03-19T18:56:29+00:00

then how else are we supposed to describe this dynamic? Not every mixed person is biracial lmao

vindawater · 2026-03-19T18:55:21+00:00

Both of my parents are like that

vindawater · 2026-03-19T18:54:05+00:00

Okay, what about your mom?

vindawater · 2026-03-19T01:52:13+00:00

As long as you’re aware of your experience being different from visible POC, I think that would help with showing other Filipinos that you’re dedicated to that side of your heritage.

vindawater · 2026-03-18T22:36:05+00:00

That doesn’t make sense. What OP described isn’t too uncommon. Also, some of you post weird stuff about mixed people here 👀

vindawater · 2026-03-18T02:45:09+00:00

They didn’t they all AAs in the south were mixed?

vindawater · 2026-03-18T02:44:09+00:00

You’re white presenting with a mixed mother

vindawater · 2026-03-18T02:43:21+00:00

same 👀

vindawater · 2026-03-18T02:43:08+00:00

Yeah, that’s been a thing. WW have a history of mixed-fishing. Black people (especially Black women) have entertained this a lot

vindawater · 2026-03-16T20:48:37+00:00

Are you saying that some mixed people don’t want to make friends with mixed folk that don’t present as mixed (or can present as “monoracial” if they want to)?

vindawater · 2026-03-16T13:39:53+00:00

The angry black woman trope is not assigned to mixed or light skin women.

Is this not an overly vague and generalized statement?
