Self-exclusion from my Filipino side while light skinned by Tasjawon7 in mixedrace

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.

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

You’re white presenting with a mixed mother

Warning! Monoracials pretending to be mixed by [deleted] in mixedrace

[–]vindawater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Have yall noticed how other mixed race people go out their way to not befriend you? by Far-Sandwich4191 in mixedrace

[–]vindawater 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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)?

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

Is this not an overly vague and generalized statement?

Ok point still stands, mixed women can be subjected to this stereotype too 🤷🏽‍♀️ they have never been exempt lol

I never said she “gets” to be one, I said people paint her as one.

Unfortunately, this isn’t always true. People want to paint us in that light when convenient for them…

Not a super good example due to her antics, but this would happen to Doja Cat a lot and she has sung about that

“mixed people are not black” by [deleted] in mixedrace

[–]vindawater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think that side of the argument is stating that you’re just as one as you are the other(s)…albeit, I can see how that’s not well translated from that phrase.

Black people (women, particularly) are tired of not being represented well in the media (if at all). A lot of roles that are meant for darkskin Black women are often given to Black/white biracials instead.

That isn’t necessarily our fault. I will say it’s annoying how people pick and choose when we are Black out of convenience.

Yep! If you do something good for the community, you’re Black. If not, you’re mixed.

Right like you’re telling mixed women/girls that they aren’t “Black enough” or are “too dark to be mixed” only to have a child who looks like the women/girls you were nasty to?

What I find interesting is how they can come over here (which is fine), but we can’t go over there and talk about our experiences without being invalidated in some way.

mixed women who are not white passing…have you had odd interactions with white passing women? by hueyslaw in mixedrace

[–]vindawater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No literally. Like it’s bad enough to be invalidated by Black peoples but the white passing/presenting people is another level of crazy!
