Is it normal i hate myself for being half mexican?
My mom is Mexican, my dad is white. I would give anything to be fully white. I've struggled with this for about a year now. I hate being referred to as mexican. It makes me cringe. I know there is a lot of great mexican people out there, but it's not who i am on the inside. I hate that people expect me to be that loud, sassy, latina girl. NO. I'm a smart talented girl and i feel as if people look over me for being mexican. I do bad in my Spanish class solely because i don't want people thinking of me resembling a hispanic person. When people find out i'm bad in spanish, they ALWAYS say "What??? BUT YOU'RE MEXICAN??". Race is something you can't change, i've contemplated suicide many, many times. Even my dad calls my sisters and i "minorities". It feels like a fire is raging in my stomach when he says that. Why do i seem to be the only ....(hispanic)...struggling with this? This isn't normal, is it?
