Inferior to "pure" whites, iin?

28% Normal

I'm not pure white (Caucasian). Instead, I am only half. I feel so inferior to them. I can't talk about my insecurities with my racial identity with them. It makes me so uncomfortable because, it forces me to deal with my feelings of inferiority and my insecurities.

I rather not talk about this, as I don't feel like they can truly understand where I am coming from. Instead, I rather ignore reality, and attempt to tell myself that I am one of them.

For all of my life, I had managed to fool myself into actually believing this nonsense but, now I can't anymore.... By pulling the wool from my eyes, I feel like I'm having an identity crisis. IIN?!

Why do you care, you should be proud of your heritage. You're everything you always were, you don't need someone to tell you differently.

  That's true. I will probably always feel inferior then.

"Inferior" in what regard? Each race is unique, each having strengths as well as weaknesses.

You are who you are. Comparing yourself to "pure" Whites is much like comparing apples to oranges.

I doubt seriously that there are any "pure" anythings, race wise, any more.
Since we all evolved from monkeys anyway, that makes you part monkey, too. Our fucking president is half something and look how far he got in life.
Self loathing is a waste of time and energy. Accept who you are and do your best with the hand you've been dealt.

  Um . . . No. We did not evolve from monkeys. We both share a common ancestor.
  
  And purity of race does exist. I am pure human. What are you?

Why do you need to fit into a certain class to feel good bout yourself.Are you therefore saying your mother your siblings are also inferior to caucasians.Focus more on your worth as an individual and less on skin colour.
All the best.

I don't know about europe, but nobody whose family has been in the US over 100 years is "pure" white. They are all mixed with other races (either because their ancestors married or raped other races). Which makes the racist white power movement more than hilarious.

As for feeling inferior, my brother is half white and he always says he feels unique and he's happy about it. I guess it depends on your self-esteem. He teases bullies back in school and then laughs about it, he doesn't just sit there and take it and get depressed.

Maybe you should work on loving yourself more and not caring about fitting in because of your skin color. When you like yourself and have a healthy ego, people will naturally gravitate towards you no matter what color you are.

  The supremacy of whites. They are coveted (and hated) due to their ancestor's actions through Imperialism, Colonialism, etc. In America, you're so lucky the lighter your skin is and the more your features look white. If you're white, you're practically untouchable in the eyes of the law and society/mainstream media.

      It's true for the most part. They're some cases where people get butthurt, for little to no reason, and the white person gets attacked for it. Cases like these could be avoided if people stopped being so PC and hypersensitive.

    That's wrong. Sure, it's blatantly true that other races have been discriminated against greatly in history time and time again compared to white people, but in this day-in-age, NO ONE is "untouchable" by law or media. That's ridiculous.
    
    You're acting like I can't insult a white person because in YOUR eyes, they seem to be perfect. Incorrect again. Regardless of your skin color, you CAN be looked down upon. If we were to be entirely honest to ourselves, then yeah, we'd recognize that other races tend to have it harsher, but don't think there's not some kind of shield around you if you're white.

      Mainstream media takes and glorifies the side of a white person, even if they've committed a crime. They're martyred if their case invved minorities.
      
      When Zendaya had dreadlocks, they said that her hair was unwashed, and probably smelled of weed and pachouli.
      
      When one of the younger Jenner daughters had dreadlocks, she was called "edgy" and she was viewed as a fashion trend setter.
      
      Do you see the double standard? It does exist and this is why our country has been having another civil revolution, as people are waking up, getting tired of this, and addressing this as a whole.

        There ARE double-standards, but you have to understand it goes both ways.
        
        I'm sure you've heard about Michael Brown, or Eric Garner - two unarmed black men killed by white police officers.
        
        But I'm also pretty sure you haven't heard of Dillon Taylor - an unarmed white man killed by a black cop. Even if you have, it hasn't gotten NEARLY as much publicity as the two other cases with the races switched.
        
        Every race is at a disadvantage in some way or another, and even though other races (specifically African Americans if we want to avoid beating around the bush here) are more at a defect according to society, ALL races go through double standards. No one race is completely superior to another.

My mom is Sicilian/Puerto Rican and my dad is Cherokee/Scottish. I can almost guarantee that a "pure" white race is non existent now. Alot of the white racists groups would probably disagree but they also wont tell you that when their ancestors had slaves, the slave owners used the black women as what they called "belly warmers" and the women did have children as a result. I am definitely NOT inferior to any race. We are all the SAME and that is known as the human race.

  It's certainly possible that a truly "pure" human race does not exist, but this is irrelevant. Even if you can't get 100% clean, you should still bathe.
  
  We may all be human, but we are simply NOT the same, no more than a border collie is the same as a doberman.
  
  By the way, "alot" is not a word. Please, pass it on.

  Italians are considered white (caucasian) and Cherokees don't exist in europe. The 'white' ethnicity does not solely consist of americans.
  
  I am positive there are almost no people of pure european descent in the americas, but I can't say anything about the caucasians in europe since it's their homeland.

So what? I'm Spanish, German, Welsh and Scot-Irish as far as I know, but my knowledge if my ancestors doesn't go back more than three or four generations here in the Americas. I'm most familiar with my my Welsh family and they've been here for only about 125 years as far as I can reckon. I know very little about my other American and Colombian ancestors so it's possible there could be some African or Native American blood very far back in my family past of which I'm completely unaware. I'm powerless over all of this and so are you.

So what is your other non Caucasian half? What does make me sad is that my sister and I are the last of our line so the Welsh part of our family will die with us.

  This is as far as I know: Irish or Scottish (it could even be both), Cree (Native American), Cuban (possibly some Spanish), African (I have no clue of the exact origins. This is the part that I have the problem with.) and Jewish. I feel like I'm missing so much of my heritage. I'm broken.

    Being mixed-race, you get the best of everyone! Maybe it's not any solace to you, but mixed-race people are the best looking people by far on average. Don't blame yourself for your insecurities though, blame society. If there weren't any prejudices, you'd have no reason to feel inferior. BTW, most people have no idea about their heritage, or very little, so don't feel lost. You are who you are. Who cares about your ancestors, they aren't you!
    
    I'm part aboriginal North American as well. I try to be proud of it, because it makes me feel closer to the land I live on having so much history here.

      I've been given a hard time before. Certain parts of my heritage, always the Caucasian and Native American, have been highlighted in a negative way, usually by family members.
      
      Like, ragging on my Caucus roots, saying that I need to pick a side, between it and my African roots. Or, taking about how all Native Americans are alcoholics to everyone and warning/shaming me never to drink.
      
      I don't think most people care. I haven't been asked what I am in a rather long time. I do think a lot of it was my self-critique.

        Sometimes old memories become a perpetual self-critique. Try to put those old insults in the past. Its hard, but try to remember that it's not happening anyomore. I was upopular in elementary school and now I have tons of friends but I still panic and think everyone hates me and I have to remind myself "It's over. It's in the past. This is a new era."
