Shut Up Mixed Girl: A Poem About Being Mixed in America

[ikissedtheskyonce]

I am aware that I do not look "American" but that is perfectly fine with me

To be honest I do not give a shit if someone does not see American Patriotism in me

I am multiracial not biracial and I do not give a shit that most people think I look latina

When I was young kids laughed when I said I was black

But that's ok because I do not look black and I'm ok with that

My DNA is a middlefinger anyways, it says fuck the labels

I just want work hard like any other person to get at the American money table.

Im white, black and Asian and people think I look mestizo

I do not represent all people

I have no people

Fuck representation

I am no sheeple

I'm a wannabe artist with no imagination

Sometimes I do get mean

I do not want my character to be judged by my white, black and Asian genes

I'm not too keen on acceptance

It seems like everyone wants to be accepted

I came for my America

My skin is golden

My hair long

If you are trying to get accepted

This poem may not be for you

I'm just trying to get erected

So I can finish at the top of the successful pool

thats how a lot of biracial people i know and my biracial cousins feel ( white and black but dad has mixed heritage) They look very Italian, hispanic or middle eastern. And they always say they dont identify with monorace people but biracial people. They dont like having to choose in the U. S.

The Hispanic/Latino things gets on my nerves so much because most of them are just Spanish speaking mixed people instead of English speaking. I literally when to slap someone when someone says insert person looks "Latino/Hispanic".

I see.. I think some black americans have abit of Asian in them while having ' white' features besides adorning the darker shade of skin. I 'd call them tri-racial. Black, Asian n white. If they have native American or other indigenous blood, i guess they are very multi racial.

[ikissedtheskyonce]

I'm 60% white
25% black and 15% Asian lol

[abundantlyrich]

How is it going? Adorning a diverse skin suit?

[ikissedtheskyonce]

It's no big deal but I definitely do not identify as black American because I don't look black that's just the reality of America

[abundantlyrich]

I mean hows life

Yeah my dad is white and my mom is Hispanic yet people think I'm joking when I say I'm Hispanic because I'm really white but with really dark eyes and hair. I also have really weird shaped eyes as they look somewhat Asian it's weird.

[ikissedtheskyonce]

Hispanic is not a race so can very well have Asian blood on your Hispanic side

[LiveFreeorDieHard]

True

[LiveFreeorDieHard]

Also, if you go with that logic then your not biracial or multiracial as there is no such thing as different races. There is only one race and that's the human race. Everything on the outside is different due to thousands of years of evolution to developing adaptations through the environment as well as different sexual selection strategies throughout the planet.

It's funny to see what people think you are when you're multiracial (I look like a latina but could pass as black or white as well) and try to be culturally sensitive or racist. Nice take :)

This is interesting.

I always wondered what's like to be mixed in the US. And now I have an idea.

Thanks for sharing this.

People might not dislike you so much if you improved your attitude.

Interesting. I am mixed as well. My mom is Afro Caribbean and my father is Hispanic, and I don't really know what percent of what I am since they are mix also,
