#because to puerto ricans problems NEVER get handled. just talked about. everything is passive. that’s how my mom is

it’s weird when your only two ethnic roots that are of some significance to your identity are connected to you via two grandparents
#like my grandmother is hawaiian !! which makes my father half white !! but very little culture was passed down to me
#because it wasn’t passed to him. u know?? i have to go to my grandmother to learn about it
#and then when i do it doesn’t feel like a piece of me?? it feels like her culture. and i LOVE it so dearly. but like it isn’t?? it’s not my
#-identity. and i feel like it Should be but i just. i’m white!! and wasn’t raised with any hawaiian culture !!
#it’s. weird.
#it’s a bit different with my wela. she’s white latine but her siblings aren’t.
#as in she’s just more pale than they are. and so my mother having an irish father is also white
#but she was immersed in puerto rican culture. and so was i!!
#but i have difficulty calling myself latine in any way
#it doesn’t fit
#and like
#i don’t relate to other white people when it comes to specific stereotypes
#such as bad cooking or addressing issues directly as white ppl do
#because to puerto ricans problems NEVER get handled. just talked about. everything is passive. that’s how my mom is
#not how i am but how she is and half my family is
#and like. family gatherings were big and loud and full of music and dancing laaaaate into the night
#and frequent too
#and i was surrounded by spanish speakers so much of the time
#so much of my childhood and life was immersed in puerto rican culture but i’m just. i don’t think i’m puerto rican. i’m NOT puerto rican.
#like i’m not a white latina i just. i just don’t feel like i am. or can be. but im not white in the way other white european americans are??
#maybe that’s what it boils down to !! not relating to white americans in certain aspects
#but only those certain ones. my mom may be a white latina but she is very much a white woman in that traditional european american sense
#anyway idek what im rambling about atp. identity is very odd. i don’t feel like there’s any heritage i should claim
#but at the same time white isn’t a good enough descriptor when it comes to how i was raised
#because it isn’t like white european americans. is this. is this making sense. i think im going in circles
#i walk through the world as a white woman and that’s ultimately it at the end of the day bc thats my race!! but ethnically i have no answer.
#heritage is strange
