thinking once again about like. idk you know when you're technically sort of something but the connection to being that something was so thoroughly stolen by genocide that like... even tho you have technically experienced racism specifically related to being smth. you still feel like you can't claim it. and like. it creates the most bizarre situation ever where i'll be sitting there like okay yeah that was definitely racism and definitely directed at me but i feel like the racist was being inaccurate. which leads to such absurd thoughts like "i feel like i should have been pointing out to that racist that i don't really feel like i can claim this and therefore don't always even bring it up" even though the people i'm thinking of absolutely would not have cared about that nuance, idt
#like i don't think my friend's dad would have stopped calling me that slur if i'd tried to explain 'no but like i'm more confident in saying#that i'm a jew. therefore please adjust the way you are being racist'#me to him: excuse me. that slur does not apply as well as the other one. can we switch this up#really in conversation with my sleep deficit right now
