Good is not a thing you are. It's a thing you do.

for me, those jokes help me relieve the pressure i feel every day because i am constantly surrounded by whiteness. my roommate is half white but he acts like that half is the only important thing. his german side….and he’s antisemetic……and uses the n word…

my mom’s family is so white they make clouds look tanned and trust me they say passive aggressive racist shit every single time i am around them. the way i deal with this is by making those kind of jokes. if i can laugh at their whiteness it doesn’t suffocate me so much. if i can remember that this is not reality, that their whiteness is not mandatory, it helps make me feel more like a human being and less like a walking target.

it’s like the walls are closing in on you except its every day, every hour, every mminute, every second, and the way i have to deal with it is make jokes about them; make them and their actions into jokes. that way, it hurts less.
