its not even mixed race, its different skin tones. my mom's colonizer genes were strong in her pigmentation and they are strong in me. my dad looks like a black man with thick flat ironed hair. like my sister and i have more curls then he has. anyway, sometimes my mom really didnt want to travel halfway across the city to pick me up from school and my dad had the day off so he picked me off. The amount of times i got asked who he was even after i ran to him screaming "PAPI!!!" was frankly ridiculous. And every single goddamn time i got an, "oh! you must look like ur mother than!" thank god i wasnt neurotypical or that would have fuck me up. anyway, both of my parents were from the same country, the same provence, the same fucking mountain range. how terrible to ask a small children every few months, are you sure thats your father? you do not look like him. you do not have to lie. you look nothing like him at all.
#after a elementary school genes lesson i got curious and i DO share a lot of my facial features with my dad#same eye shape eye color ears lips hair color and even shininess#which made me even more confused when people told me i didnt look anything like him#it was just my skin tone#and yes he did get called slur when he meet my moms family
