I'm fully black so can't personally speak on the mixed race experience but I worked with some sociologists who interviewed a group of mixed people across London and most of the mixed race people interview said that they feel like they're never white enough for the white people or black enough for the black people. The mixed race people I know feel like they have to pick to be either black or white to assimilate into whichever environment they've grown up most around.
I’m mixed race and I think I can relate to Samantha in a sense due to not grown up around black family members as much or had my dad in my life. Same as her.
But I went to a very mixed school and I have friends of all races. I don’t deny my blackness. I accept my black hair and culture.
With her I feel like because she gained attention for the fake blonde curly weave and blue eyes. She now caters towards whiteness because it keeps her stats or believes it does if she looks more white. Which isn’t true because you can be black and successful. I just think she prefer to look more Caucasian if I’m totally honest.
It isn’t just her look at mixed white and East Asians. Most try and look white too.
I think because whiteness is on such a pedestal you try and look more white then black or asian because you know it’ll gain you attention or is considered “beautiful”.
Thing what I’ve noticed too especially in the U.K. is many mixed race people always seem to have white partners. Unless they’re on a council estate. Most do tend to have white partners and that says something. Not always but still.
Was about to post the same thing!! Quarantine and BLM has really made this girl think and I’m here for it. Big changes Sammi!! Even the fact she hasn’t posted about Jason for Father’s Day says a lottttt
She’s just posting for trend. Let’s be honest.
Even if she left Jason she’ll find another white guy. Everyone wants her to be more involved with black people but this girl just has no intention of getting with a black man or being with anyone of colour.
But then again why are we even bothered? If she prefers white guys then leave her be.
Hmmm....
