hi!! my grandmother is Pakastani and my grandfather is Tsalagi on my father's side, but my mom is white. I'm almost entirely white passing except for high cheekbones, light olive skin, my grandmother's nose, and dark eyes. I've always considered myself native and pakistani, but recently this white guy told me I couldn't claim either of them. I feel bad about my passing privilege and sometimes I wish I looked more like the cultures my poc family gave me. I feel like I don't fit. what can I do?
Love yourself, accept yourself, and don’t base your identity or worth off of what others say.
