Using Brown and White Label to your advantage!

[JohnSmith]

I personally hate being called a white boy it is degrading but white people are seen negatively and I would get more respect if I relate closer to minority by avoiding the white label. Only use it to my advantage avoid it when it does not help me. In survival mode being a chameleon and adapting to fit many labels is best.

Elizabeth Warren did something like this when she listed herself as Native American to help with admissions to College. Most people do not go this far.

Are you addressed as "white boy" irl by some?

[Daler Mendhi]

Not sure what the issue is. Terms like this should never exist in the first place.

Most people do not use that label directly in your face. Only when dancing, lol, I been told I dance very white.
Surprising in the USA people rarely address race in public unless they have too. But Minorities will feel more comfortable around you if you do not identify as white.

One of the first questions I get asked living in the South is, "What are you?"

If you want an us and them label, use their ethnicity. White and brown (or black) is so American.

Well technically I am white but I have some soul and not a cracker.

Technically you're white? How bizarre.

Technically, I'm Anglo/Irish and my skin colour is a pale cream turning to warm bronze in the sun.

well..ur tanned and could say ur Italian which wouldn't really be lying because I think you are ethnically.

or u could say ur 'Spanish' lol

my Dad lived in California for some years and he's Irish and he always got along really well with the minorities. I think the Irish are basically the niggers of Europe tho so it makes sense.

I am a Anglo/Italian. Have some darker family members and some lighter ones I guess pretty average.
