being biracial between white and poc will always be so alienating for me I don't relate to anyone. I don't quite fit in with whites but I don't quite fit in with people of color. been more white passing than the rest of my family doesn't help
#with white people I always feel like I'm gonna be “found out” with people of color I feel like a token white friend#or seen as white even though I'm poc too#I literally lived on a reservation for a huge portion of my life but I still don't feel like I'm allowed to claim the poc experience#or that I'm a person of color at all#now that im experiencing the life a lot of white americans experience#which btw you people lack so much community it's actually isolating#indigenous#native american#biracial#bipoc#poc#I can wear the most obvious indigenous jewelry and accessories or clothing and still assumed im white#I literally wore a shirt once from a powwow with my tribe on it and an adult went “oh you really like Indians huh.” what the fuck#and when I say I'm native every single time without fail is just#“oh my god I love native culture btw im so jealous of ur skin color you lived on the rez wow did you live in houses made from sticks”#“oh but you're like white native I don't think of you as actually native you can't claim that im still gonna make white jokes about you”
