My father is black and my mother is white, and people make fun of me. They say I’m Indian, Hispanic or Arabian. Why do they do this?

I’m sorry to hear that people are cruel to you because of your mixed heritage. Some wounds and hateful ideas run deep on both sides. Most of all you are a human being, no one can take that away from you.

It’s pure ignorance. These people are stupid, and a waste of skin because they are not educated, they don’t respect others, and they don’t care. If you correct some people, they might listen, but if they don’t listen, remember they are going to end up pissing the wrong person off, and what goes around comes around. I’m sorry that you are being made fun of, but you aren’t alone. I know you’re proud of your heritage, and at least your life isn’t as empty those people who make fun of you.

Due to the fact that your father is black, there is the possiblity that your father’s genes are seen as dominant and other races take some fear of this.

That’s funny. I am of Asian Indian descent and people ask me if I’m Hispanic, Arab or half black and half white. Finall,y one day I asked them why, and they said it was because I had curly hair, brown skin, and Caucasian features. So it wasn’t meant as a racial insult. It was just out of curiousity. Don’t let it bother you because race is a completely illogical, man-made thing that some insecure people use to feel like they are better than other people. If people make fun of you they are idiots. Ignore them.

People might not be able to identify what race you are by looking at you. Then they feel confused and upset because they don’t know what to make of you, so they react in a negative way. Also they’re trying to ‘guess’ what your racial heritage is. Some people might be trying to be hurtful, and some people might just be curious.
