spending a few days in northern europe has really made me realize how narrow america's definition of whiteness is
#see i'd already noticed that to me wasp girls in america all look strangely similar. like theyre all variations of the same girl#but i hadn't expected nordic girls to look so similar too. which is kinda stupid bc well thats where the american wasp girlies came from lol#but you see. i am white european blonde and blue-eyed. and yet i see Nothing of myself in them#my features - strong nose big eyes - my hair - curly - my body type - short and wide hips - theyre all so typically hispanic/italian#i always strongly identified as southern european even though im pale blonde and blue eyed - not the picture you imagine of a spaniard#even though people assume im german unprompted - im really not#anyway this is all just to say that there are so many different ethnic backgrounds that are lumped together as White-because we *are* White#but it's oftentimes an insufficient or misleading indicator because White probably does not mean the same to you as it does to me#which is why ive ALWAYS been SO baffled by the aphorism 'white people have no culture' like WHICH white people are we talking about????#clara tais toi
