Tw Gatekeeping - Tumblr Posts

this comic sums up my feelings as a white passing mixed person

like sure ppl look at me and think im white but i think ppl don't realise that that doesn't mean im treated as a white person, i get treated differently as soon as they find out im mixed and not white and i still get comments abt my hair and my body proportions which r different bc im mixed not 2 mention deit culture,

[warning disordered eating, ppl being shitty abt bodies race fetish and mixed baby fetish talk and gatekeeping mention]

i had a problem w/ eating where i wouldn't eat any more than 2 small meals a day and sometimes only 1 small meal a day and sometimes not even that and yet bc of how my fat distribution naturally is i still had my big thighs and ppl called me fat bc of it, not 2 mention the fact that most of the "positivity posts" abt my body type [im kinda a pear shape] is white ppl fetishising it and acting like that somehow makes them better

not 2 mention finding out that 1 of the reasons i exist is bc my dad had a race fetish but whenever monoracial ppl talk abt stuff like that most of the 1s ive seen on youtube still do a 180 2 then talk abt how "mixed ppl aren't our allies" and say we're the same as white ppl, it rly does feel that as soon as we hit puberty they demonise us especially when we start talking abt our own experiences

then there's the fact that the "mixed look" is defined atm by white ppl trying 2 look like us but then that gets labelled as oppression that's only against monoracial ppl

tbh this is y after years of putting up w/ this shit im starting think that the term white passing should b retired bc it's just the same as the term straight passing being used against bisexual ppl, dealing w/ bigotry and then on top of that dealing w/ erasure from ur own community and being told u don't belong there only 4 them 2 then turn around and call u stuck up 4 not interacting w/ them is not a privilege
