That post came from a place of anger and ignorance. I was ignorant to what minorities go through with Eurocentric beauty standards. Truth is I’ve never seen a south European like me ever included in these conversations. So I got the impression that my feelings weren’t valid. I’m white, I have privilege, and I should use it to make this world a better place for all.
I’m just very angry too that everything I’ve done to make myself feel better hasn’t worked. Even therapy. I’d do anything to look more white passing. I want to be like the girls I went to school with. Slim, blonde, straight hair, etc.. but my genes gave me something different.
Combined with my anger and ignorance, I came off as hateful. I should’ve been more careful. I should’ve listened more to what minorities go through before making my post where I assumed I have it just as bad as them.
