“you’re the whitest brown guy I know”

It’s so annoying. I don’t know why me being brown means I have to act a certain way

My mum has jokingly called me a coconut but it just makes me feel so self conscious and I don’t like it

    kind of depends on the behavior, but rarely is it valid to say someone’s acting white.

    I feel like less of a black male for having lived in POW areas till now. Like I’m putting on a caricature just to blend in. My brother turned out fine though, no clue whats wrong with me.

    Part of this has to do with my family immigrating and not wanting us (kids) to be made fun of in school. Making us as “American” as possible. I could have been bilingual…smh
