I think it says a lot about the narratives we're still not allowed to tell that I always feel immensely more kinship with sci-fi and fantasy biracial characters than those in fiction that more mirrors current day

#personal;#there are VERY FEW things i've seen in current day that have black/white biracial characters to be fair #but considering one of them is Dear White People but they never ever Once in what i saw cover the micro aggressions black people do #towards those of us who are half white #not nearly so well as like. that spock gifset i just rb'd #or the way the academy on vulcan treats him bc his human half #vulcans see him as human and humans see him as vulcan and that isn't what i see in things set in fictional Today #bc the moment you show black people microaggressing against another PoC you're called racist #when like. i have faced SO MUCH MORE microaggression from black people than white #black people who call me oreo. who 'shame about the white'. who have literally threatened my safety.#it's never been white people #the only oreo jokes i get from white people are from white friends with permission and that's it #other than yanno. the systemic shit that individual people can't change #it was a black person in high school who threatened to rape me (and i proceeded to forget about for years bc who could i talk to about it?)#black people who hit on me and then when turned down turn it into disparaging me for being half white and how i'm tainted goods #but the MOMENT you start talking about or displaying that you're called racist #even if it's your lived experience #in my experience white people have treated me far more as a person. and black people treat me as a color.#anyway i guess this is gonna be my day
