Help Me Out Maybe?) - Tumblr Posts

so fun story from a year ago, demonstrating that I grew up without a tv and don't particularly care about celebrities
Girl of a race I cannot remember (which I feel super bad about rn) in an internet video: people trying to look like my race take away our identity by influencing others to believe that this is what a white person looks like; the Kardashians for example-
Me, completely bewildered: the Kardashians are white?????
Tags :
the reason I feel bad about not knowing her race is bc what's the point of spreading the word of injustice if I hardly know who it's about
nevertheless
I don't know who I should feel bad for here but I don't really think it's the Kardashians
no I guess I feel bad (about my reaction) for the people of that race or those races
I guess the real issue is that I'm not sure what I need to be sorry for
(not why what I did is wrong.
that's usually what it feels like people mean
but I'm literally not sure what's bad and what's not
help me out maybe?)
idk if it's even actually bad but I have some reasons I feel guilty about that
ahem
I'm done now
ok I think
Hopefully
kardashians
race
cultural appropriation
pretty sure that's what the girl was talking about
the kardashians are white?????
literally never crossed my mind that they could possibly be white before
I mean I didn't and don't think about them much at all
and I don't think I made any assumptions about their race
but I was just so surprised to hear they're white that it was kinda funny
