As a half person this is sadly so relatable. I would constantly be called a weeb for using my actual name, for speaking in one of my native languages, or referencing my own culture. If I piped in to my previous friends conversations -“You’re not really Asian, you’re white passing, so you don’t really hold any say”. I’ve had some girl leave the class I was teaching in a Japanese club I made in middle school because I apparently had no idea what I was talking about, had an accent, and said things wrong. She had lived there for a month and didn’t know any Japanese . Most of my family is from japan, I lived there for most of my life at that stage, and knew Japanese since I could speak. My mom doesn’t even speak English to me. She did apologize after she realized she was wrong, but ughhhhhh this brings back memories. I hate having to justify my own fucking race.
