@candy.courn: white people have no business telling POC they’re white passing! 👋 I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately as my current style has largely led more folks online to label me as white passing (pink hair, tattoos, colorful dressing, etc). And while I don’t have a problem with the label as a mixed Korean American, it’s always been odd to me coming from white folks…(the same ones who couldn’t tell the difference between Asian folks if their lives depended on it)…so let’s talk about it! 👀 #whitepassing #autisticsofcolor #mixed #korean #koreanamerican #asianamerican #intersectionality #disabled #autisticasian #autisticadults #unmaskingautism #actuallyautistic

this is so real, I'm Mexican and Turkish, and I'm only ever seen as "white" bc I'm paler, or I get excused as if I'm German or Asian, if I correct then they're like "NO YOU'RE WHITE" like what...!!

I feel this so much especially because half of my husband’s family “couldn’t tell” but still treated me as “exotic” and the other half immediately used micro aggressions and treated me as a zoo animal

As someone who is half Filipino and half white, i feel so seen. “I always thought you were joking about being asian” - what I heard growing up when talking about my culture

thank you for speaking on this!! also many of us have gone from being various skin shades in our life. i was never ever assumed to be white until i was ~18, bc i get significantly darker in the sun.

I feel this so much. as someone who's mixed and is lighter skinned the comments are frustrating at times and they sometimes make me uncomfortable.

THIS. SO. MUCH. As a fellow mixed race person, I’ve gotten the “what are you” / “where are you really from” ?s many times throughout out my life. I know I’m pale but I also know that I’m not ⚪️passing

I am 1/4 somoan and I've faced a lot of microaggressions about my more Samoan physical traits before I even knew I wasn't "fully white". And I've been working hard since to find where I belong.

I didn’t know I was Filipino passing until a Filipino coworker started asking me something in Tagalog… I mask at work and am non verbal so I had to write it out that I’m Hispanic😭

My old friend group told me I was white passing constantly and told me that I talked about being Mexican to much and that it was getting annoying and that’s why they kept telling me I was white pass

I'm mixed Sámi and Indian, I was never assumed to be fully white until I started dying my hair and getting tattoos.

from Aotearoa, shocking how common getting asked "if you're (ethnic groups) why is your skin white?" in small indigenous communities where "breeding out" skin colour/ethnic features was/is common practice... like... idk, why do you THINK I'm white!?

I’m white but I’ve always thought it was a little weird when fellow white people use the “white passing” thing and I never knew why, this cleared up a lot ty for making a video about it 😭😭
