Confusing times to be alive if you're mixed race. I think of myself as half German-Canadian half-Haitian, but now all of a sudden I'm a POC. Growing up around Toronto, your culture/ethnicity was important but the details mattered. I was never black I was half Haitian, never had a thing in common with black Americans/Africans/Jamaicans whatever. Now it doesn't matter where your parents are from, you're just a POC.
I get if you're white or not Canadian you can't appreciate it, but the race thing was pretty much done 10 years ago. In Toronto etc, nobody gave a shit about your appearance, it was your culture/how you actually acted. If you acted like a wop you were a wop, if you acted like a thug you were a thug.
It's so fucking weird watching the change. 20 years ago immigrant kids would just assimilate and act white. Now all of a sudden I meet 20 year olds and they act like they're from another country.
I fucking hate it, I never had a problem with race/racism. In fact my friends all thought it was cool my mom spoke kriol/french. But now I just wish I could move to the whitest place in Canada and never have to deal with this shit ever again.
People refuse to be normal nowadays, just so fucking sick of it.
