ok so basically i include myself in asian culture bc im fucking asian lmao, but every time i talk about it with my friends who are south eastern asians i literally get teased just for being middle eastern??? and they're constantly like, "yeah but ur not really asian" and it's like um yes hoe i am??? and tbh if i tell them that i'm offended when they say that they'll apologize and stop but oH my god when white people start doing it they literally don't stop they're just like "u don't even look asian!! u look brazilian or something, u should just tell people you're brazilian so you won't get racial comments" and omfg that pisses me off the most bc it's like??? NO??? IM NOT GONNA LIE ABOUT MY ETHNICITY??? if people make racial comments towards me i'd rather drag their ugly asses than pretend to be a different ethnicity omfg it's so stupid and it just makes me feel like i shouldn't try to involve myself in the poc community bc i always feel nervous that i'll be ridiculed or something and people will be like "you're not really a poc tho" or something and it's just horrible tbh bc i WANT to include myself in the poc community bc i'm not ashamed to be poc tbh i'm proud to be a part of this community but when people say things like that it just makes me feel like i don't deserve to be included u know???
