I look white. But I’m not.

Anoymous,
USA.

I’m 1/4 white genetically. But I look white–light eyes, fair skin, freckles–despite the fact that my full-siblings don’t. My best friend is half white and looks white. Mixed-race kids who look 100% white do exist. And we did grow up in the same neighborhoods, with the same families, in the same cultures as our visible counterparts. Which is something a lot of people on both sides of the fence seem to forget.
