Identity issues: Italian edition
#i am so insecure GODDDD#one little comment even though i know im right still got to me#like ofc i didnt mean community like fandom#the word community can be used for anything#black community?? asian community??#like hello??#and yeah indentity isnt about blood but culture but i guess fuck people whos families assimilated#and fuck adoptees not raised in their culture#fuck those affected by colonialism#italy is a country- fuck off i know#its not my fault i was sheltered and had no contact with either sides of my family#i struggled with identity growing up and i still struggle#i hated filling out forms for race and ethnicity bc it was only allowes one option#like i ahouldnt even be doing this trying to prove myself but i cant help it#ive been welcomed open arms from other Yoemem. cant say the same with italians#but even if i was. id still have this problem and its not just a me thing#like how many times do i have to convince ppl that i know i look white and grew up white#that i know my place. that i know my privilege. that im not just trying to be lightly seasoned off white#i feel like i have to be so small and ibalso feel like im making a big deal about it all#i doubt myself. everything i do i feel is watched and judged. everything i do feels like im just trying to convince#even if it definitely is not the case#and i get it though. i know why people are like this. like i 100% get it#bc pretendians and the like. culture vultures or wtvr. i guess like teaboo but for italians#miaboo?#i know im not the only one bc ive talked to other ppl in the same boat as me#it doesnt help that i have so much working against me in terms of disability#memory problems always sleeping overwhelmed easily cant focus. so i end up doing so little#which feels like it indicates that i dont care enough#i try not to even think about stuff like this but it always is brought up in some way like a stupid little comment#oop too many tags welp
