remember to support your non-white friends as much as your non-cishet friends

especially if they're both

@Efi mediterranean ranges from greek to lebanese and other such places

i guess it kind of depends on where your parents are from?

most of the time folks define white as being euro-centric with regards to being from the UK, germany, scandanavian countries, etc

this is something light-skinned black folks have to deal with too. i have a close friend with a black and a white parent and she gets the same kind of treatment

@Efi you're in that unique place where people with privilege treat you without that privilege, and people without privilege treat you like you have that privilege

so you kind of end up in that weird middle area of less privilege, socially

i don't know what you'd call that but you definitely deserve support any way you go
