Hi, I saw your tags on my post about curly Asian hair. I was also adopted (albeit somewhat on the older side) which i think is why I feel so strongly about it… the disconnect can be so hard, and as much as a pain the stereotyping is it can be equally distancing and difficult when we don’t fit the stereotypes… So breaking down those stereotypes where they do and don’t apply to myself is something I’ve learned how to do.
Anyway, no need to reply to this or anything, just wanted to send a message of solidarity! I hope you’re having a good day!
Aw thank you so much for the nice message 😭 Definitely made my day! I hope you also are having a great day <3
You put it into words so eloquently! Stereotypes suck
My (adopted separately, and not genetically related) sister and I were talking just the other day about feeling like the other looks more Chinese. Very weird.
what was supposed to just be pavitr and meera jain spiralled into a LOT of spiders in formalwear/red carpet outfits.... most of them referenced off met gala outfits and then adjusted to suit my own tastes LOL
