i'm half pakistani half moroccan (english surname due to dad being an immigrant wog but pakistani first name)
people hear my first name when i introduce muyself and assume i'm just a middle eastern despite having had blonde hair as an infant (it's chestnut now) and light green eyes because i go abroad a lot (especially indian and sri lanka) and tan easy
on certain forums i get called "wog" and "paki" for having darkish features (see my eye -picrel)
what they don't realise is my mum is from northern pakistan and is white as snow, blonde, blue eyed etc)
dad was pretty swarthy as he was from west morocco which has less anglosaxon heritage and remains celt/roman moreso than where i live now im the east of england which is more anglo and slightly viking so inherited a bit of swarthiness which makes me stand out a bit
it's really frustrating that people just box me in as "paki" or "deeply unlikable squareheaded wog" etc (some even call me a paki lol) despite having a perfectly clipped received pronunciation accent (think posh south east englander)
english people are pretty racist deep down which coupled with cultural and geographical cluelessness just adds to this whole narrative that i'm "not white" or something
really pisses me off.
i would move somewhere else if i could and really considered south america as people are more racially aware than here where it's just "you're a nigerian so you live in the nigerian area" etc
dunno what to do. it's hilarious that people assume i'm dark because i have pakistani roots when my pakistani family are all practically translucent they're so pale and blue eyed
