I am what most people would call bi-racial. I come from many
ethnicities and histories, but my two major cultures are UK-Celtic
“White”,
and on the other side of the family I am very much Native American.
I
have very pale skin, and outwardly show no signs of Native heritage but
some subtle bone structuring and the thick, nearly black hair of our
tribe. Everyone assumes I am “White”.
But the people who give me the most grief about how pale my skin is
who
harass me every time I wear a swimsuit,
with “jokes” and cries of
pretending to be blinded by my “undesirable”, “gross”, “ugly” whiteness,
who constantly insist I should be trying to tan more
so I stop being SOOOO pale
are other “White” people.
