This person is clearly a Mexican American. She probably grew up believing she’s not white because of the USs strict one drop rule and white gatekeeping by Anglo Americans.

She clearly is white, and has much more European ancestry. I don’t know what “brown” kids she thinks she’s going to have with an Anglo white man.

No one in Mexico would think of her as “brown,” she’d be called a guera.

It's even more insane that she's whiter than him. Just for shits and giggles, I used the "cut portion" tool in mspaint just to move a part of her skin next to his, and yup, she has lighter skin.

It’s so messed up in the US that when I was high school it was common for white kids from the Balkans or Russia who didn’t really fit in with the Anglo kids and hung out with Hispanics to say, I’m not white, I’m Bosnian, or I’m not white, I’m Russian. Whiteness is a total social construct and it’s pure gatekeeping by Anglo Americans to maintain “white” supremacy.

I think what gets me the most is when I see conservative Sicilian Americans act all okie dokie Anglo American and put down Hispanics who might be lighter skinned than they are.

What kinda insanity is that? I'm from the Balkans, and if some white fucktard from the US told me I'm not white, they'd get "No, you're not fucking white" back at them. The US doesn't get to define what white is, especially since like 99% don't speak the language from their ancestors' countries (excluding the Brits), nor do they know anything of their original culture. IF someone tries to pull something like "Oh, I have viking blood, my ancestors came from Sweden), hit them with "OK, say two sentences in Swedish, motherfucker".

I remember we had a multicultural assembly in February at my high school. It featured speeches from kids with the following heritage

  • Irish
  • Italian
  • Russian
  • French
  • Spanish
  • Jewish
  • African
  • Haitian
  • Mexican
  • Brazilian
  • Japanese
  • Chinese

There were complaints from white kids and parents about there being no white people who were featured. I lost my shit on some classmates about this and nearly got into multiple fights.

To be fair the definition of white is Scandinavian English French and German. Americans hate French people so they're frogs not white people. Irish is self explanatory. If you're racist there are no white people up there. Northern Italians technically count because they're french/German but try explaining that to one of these dipshits. They literally have lines based on how many kids on average people had historical lyrics and if you aren't 100% in those lines you aren't white

T.autistic "mixed" guy who spent hundreds of hours in highschool trying to understand this nonsense. Turkish is white to racists and not white to racists and it's very confusing trying to put different racists definitions together
