I grew up in a majority white area and went to a majority white school. There was only 4 black people in my graduating class growing up I wished i was white because i felt like i didn't fit in with all my friends and I was tired of being the only black person in a room and being different from everybody. I remember i would pray every night to wake up white But, as gotten older i LOVE being black. POC have you ever felt like i felt?
The only time I've wanted to be white was when I was applying to university and whenever I'm applying for a job. Other than that, I'm proud to be black.
Nope. I grew up in a white neighborhood and went to a white school, but my parents made it a priority for me to go to a black church and be involved in NAACP and Jack & Jill.
Plus, I went to a predominantly black private elementary school that taught us to have pride in ourselves and our black history...I think that helped a lot.
No, I love my Latin genes that keep me looking young and my skin beautiful and smooth while most of the whites my age around me age faster (although this is also because I religiously use sunblock and moisturizer). I love my dark black hair. I love my eyes. I love the fact that I can speak Spanish and have another culture I can relate to and draw from.

In the US most colleges are particularly interested in diversity though? At least for me not being generic white helped me A LOT to get money for college.
