The Race Card Project

I am a 47 year old Filipina. I remember being constantly compared to my lighter skinned cousins and feeling awkward to be among my own family. If I could, I would travel back in time and give my 3 year old self a tight hug and tell her how important it is to love herself and to never believe any of the b.s. her mother tells her ever again.

I was going to say something about how it pis*** me off that some people assume that my life has been easy just because I’m white (in some 6 word format), but then I thought about how bigoted I am against rich people. I’m not even a hateful person, and it’s wrong for me to feel this way. Bottom line is, there will always be someone worse off and someone better off than you or me or anyone else. Why do we have to belittle what someone has gone through by saying that other people have gone through worse?
