What are some stereotypes or rumors you've heard about mixed/'lightskin' people?

[biracialQT]

And do you find them to be true?

[Goldie757]

1. That they are all extremely attractive.
2. That they are snobs who think they are superior to dark skinned people.
3. Within the Black community some people think that by people classing themselves as mixed they just want to be separate from the Black race: “They just don’t like their blackness. They want to be different and therefore they have self-hate issues.”
4. Mixed race people are never racist.

Omg that 4th one is sadly widely accepted
How can people be so dumb
I know plenty of mixed racist people

[lordeisqueen]

Well i know that boys really like mixed and light skin girls. Especially mixed girls because they look unique. Same for girls when it comes to mixed/light skin boys.

[zombiebabe]

i am a mixed and the most annoying remark i've got was that i act like a completely different ethnic group -_-'' and that's ignorant imho

I've head that all biracial people need be closely observed in grocery stores, as they'll wantonly poop on fresh produce as soon as they smell it.

True, or not true? EXPIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW!!

[biracialQT]

Huh?

[palek]

Well, so much for rumors.

[ikissedtheskyonce]

Lol. Pale does it again

[ikissedtheskyonce]

*palek

That they have trouble "fitting in" among people around them.
I am uncertain whether I should find it true or not, however.

[biracialQT]

I hear personal stories of mixed girls living in the US and a lot of them apparently did have trouble fitting in, bc they were 'too black' for their white peers and 'too white' for their black peers, but in my country there's not so much of a division based on skin color so for me i grew up just fine between white, black, arab and mixed people:)

[ikissedtheskyonce]

Personally I never had trouble fitting in and I live in the US.

[biracialQT]

@ikissedtheskyonce oh good! What part of the US did you grow up in?

[ikissedtheskyonce]

I grew up in the Midwest and the South

[biracialQT]

@ikissedtheskyonce alright well I'm glad to hear you had a good experience growing up :D

[DBAOracle]

I'm light skinned, not mixed and the only stereotype I heard about light skinned people is that they feel kind of superior to their darker counterparts. It's totally dumb though, I don't believe it's true at all.

[jacquesvol]

I didn't hear any rumors about mixed/'lightskin' people. (I don't listen to rumors)

[biracialQT]

You must have heard some stereotype!

[ikissedtheskyonce]

From racist people I have heard that we (light skin) are seductress who seduce men into doing bad things
I'm not biracial but I am light skinned.

[biracialQT]

Damnnn!! What heavy accusations😠😡😡

[ikissedtheskyonce]

Also I heard that half blacks only identify as black for scholarships

[biracialQT]

Wait so u can get a scholarship for being black where you live?

[Maxemeister]

They're all beautiful is the rumor I've heard.

[biracialQT]

Yeah i keep hearing that too!!
It's preposterous😂😂😂

[Maxemeister]

IK IT'S SO OFFENSIVE

:P

[biracialQT]

Looll i mean i wouldn't say it's offensive but it's just VERY ignorant. Some of the ugliest people i know are lightskin 😂😂

[Maxemeister]

Meh I don't know who I find the most beautiful

[fenixx0083]

[yuyu30002]

[akadatank44]
