"Your Caribbean really? I thought they were lighter skinned" - I'm a halfie but my Caribbean roots are pretty thick and I'm a mix between light skinned and dark skinned black
and
"Black people are not that smart" - Even though me and my family are full of high achievers, gifted and talented, smart people.
and
"Black people are criminal" - None of my family have EVER committed crimes in our ****ing life.
and
"Your heritage is not that big, your just African" - Um no, I'm half African Half Caribbean with white, Asian, with the possibility of having Polynesian background...so no just coz I don't say it/express it or say I'm 1/20th for example doesn't mean that it isn't true, I just don't feel like I need to justify myself I'm ok with just saying I'm half Caribbean and half af, i don't need to be sooooooo specific with you....
