#bc YOU KNOW when they say asian theyre almost always referring to east asians and like#and like esp if ur a pale west asian some ppl will literally tell u youre white . like some ppl straight up say u r white#bc u benefit from some of the privilege even tho white ppl have literally appropriated west asian features#and like u could put down just 'other' or 'asian other' but what does that even mean . what is the other#personally when asked that question i cry for 5 mins. put down asian other or smth.#gonna rant but feel free to respond or rb or w/e i talk a lot in tags in doesnt mean anything#anyway its so annoying when ppl equate white privilage and colourism bc like#my skin tone can appear so so much darker irl if im under the sun for longer than 4 seconds . u only see my face#from the front online . u also were not there when i was getting called uncivilised by like 10482 people at the ripe old age of#12 when i came here . like bro come on. if im having one of those days where my skin tone is paler and i my foundation matches my skin and#i havent been under the sun in a while yes i do benefit from colourism and i try to dismantle that where i can and acknowledging it etc#but to call . west asians in general but iranians specifically...white. bro#bc why are pale south asians not white and why are pale east asians not white but were white just bc u took our features and decided yh#lets have this be the beauty standard but westernise it and bastaedise it and not acknowledging where were getting this from and call the#ppl we stole these features from TERRORISTS . except theyre also white sometimes :) xoxo . fuck u . im so angry rn goodnight its 5 AM.
