family talks
Need an opinion on this one cuz i am genually wondering the flip might be wrong
So classic family dinner scene, around w parents uncle cousin grandparents. And we started talking about my studies (i will learn chinese at Uni) and then they start making jokes abt chin cause HOWWWW funny to jokes about them w racist slurs RIGHT ? (its ironic ofc)
Jokes like "ow u gonna eat noodles" and other racist slang used in my maternal language.
Im used to, fr, but this time it get me to a point ; i am not even chinese (im mixed black and white) but dang racism is something that could turn me into some kind of crazy looking person cause HOW IN 2026 YOU STILL RACIST ?
anyway, what shocked me the most was the fact that my mom was like "yuh, us black people have problem w identity" cause i said that if we were talking about black people, they wouldnt make those kind of jokes.
I was GASSPED LIKE BRO ?
if an asian person was around, they wouldnt say that and it makes me sick.
The racism seems like a freaking variable geometry.
And i continued by saying that if people didnt speak up, things would have never changed right ?
But yet, joking on asian is OK cause they dont says anything, at least i feel like it starts to.
But anyways, makes me sick cause my mom who is POC didnt help me, didnt stand w me and even said "do like asian, stay calm and shut up" like when something goes wrong.
Gurl ?
Like
Anyway
I just wanted to vent tbh cause i was so angry at them that i left the table. Its horrible to feel like you arent being listened, and that people makes fun of you CAUSE YOU ARE YOUNGER too.
Anyway, any tips for surviving w that ?
Pls do not insult my parents, even if they piss me off they still nice but after that convo...my mind changed abt them...
