I am so sick of being exotic to white people. so damn sick of it. I am not just speaking bout my features but about my culture. yes, being mexican fucking rocks and we have amazing food, traditions, language, etc but stop trying to relate to me. Stop telling me about how you spent 2 months in Oaxaca. I don’t care. I grew up in Oregon and don’t know what it is like to be in Oaxaca. I have never been. I often go to Nayarit, on the coast, WHERE MY PARENTS ARE FROM AND MEXICO IS A LARGE AND DIVERSE COUNTRY.

Also, don’t ask where the good tacos are in Portland. Don’t tell me that you don’t eat burritos, after I tell you that one of the taco trucks has good burritos, because you were in Oaxaca for two months and they told you that anyone who ordered a burrito was gringo. YOU’RE AS WHITE AS MAYO. YOU’RE LITERALLY SO DAMN WHITE IT HURTS TO LOOK AT YOU IN THE SUN. YOU WILL ALWAYS AND FOREVER BE A GRINGO. Do not use your bullshit time spent in Oaxaca to insinuate that you are somehow more authentic than me because you don’t eat burritos because some Oaxacans told you that gringos did that. YOU ARE ONE FOREVER AND ALWAYS.

I am sick of hearing from white ppl about how they wish they were not white. because they don’t have a culture. YOU LITERALLY HAVE ACCESS TO EVERYTHING. WHY DO YOU FEEL THE NEED TO HAVE MY CULTURE. Acknowledge that inequities still exist and stop trying to be something you’re not. Being mexican is fabulous because we are but being brown in this country is not a fucking picnic. Do no pity me but recognize the differences.

Basically, stop white ppl 2014. Don’t tell me abou thow your distant cousin spent time in Mexico cuz that literally means nothing to me. Just don’t do it. Don’t ask me where the best places to eat Mexican food are because I will tell you that I cook it. Just shut up. Stop talking. Bye.
