Being mixed is amazing /s
I'm quarter Panamanian but can't really consider myself Latina because none of the parents I have really bothered to raise me in Latino culture at all
I'm quarter Black but because I'm half white and was taught by my half-Black mom to not use any African American slang (especially the n-word, but most of it would likely get the same response) it feels like I'm an outsider and like the extensive African American culture here isn't for me (DESPITE EXPERIENCING OVERT RACISM IN MIDDLE SCHOOL FOR BEING QUARTER BLACK)
I'm quarter Norwegian, which also happens to be the culture I most strongly associate with of the four, but being into Scandinavian culture whilst not living in Scandinavia is a Nazi red flag and I bet that being quarter German does not help in the slightest
I was raised in the United States but other than American food (a lot of which has this issue anyway) engaging with United States culture to any real degree at all is *also* a red flag, especially to Native Americans (whose cultures I care deeply about)
Not to mention I want to learn about cultures, I love to learn about how other people do things, but one or multiple of my own heritages makes my genuine curiosity and want to learn seem like appropriation & fetishization. I don't see any culture that way but even just having "ryuu" in my screen name is likely seen by many to have that issue.
I love feeling like an outsider in every single culture I could partake in it's fucking amazing and definitely not something so fucking annoying to constantly deal with that I made it part of my largest's story's protagonist's personality and arc as a way to vent my frustration with it
