why is it that when you're biracial and you talk to white westerners once the question of your heritage comes up they jump to the absolute worst interpretation of it
#just had a talk with a white guy and once i told him who the arawak people are and where they originate from#he went OH SO YOUR GRANDPARENTS ARE DUTCH SETTLERS?#BRO I JUST TOLD YOU MY GRANDPA C A M E TO EUROPE BECAUSE THEY COLONISED HIS ASS NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND#it's always like white people will notice there's Something Slightly Not White about you#and they'll dig around and try to “get to the bottom of it” when you literally already told them what's going on with u#and you always land on the One White Connection to that country they can make out#meanwhile other non white people will be like hey man ur also Not Fully White i can tell let's vibe#like it's so weird#it never turns into a huge longwinded conversation in which i end up being ignored anyway#it's always just more of a mutual understanding and good vibes#with white westerners i feel like i'm being studied under a microscope every time
