Any third world fucks experiencing the same ?
Living in a mixed culture/family, consuming media from abroad, talking a language from abroad but having to deal with the local religion and people, there is no place to call home or to at least not be not wanted outside of maybe family. Where I lived I am not considered a countryman but a french BUT were I to go to France I would never be considered as such, just another arab trying to replace them. I do not fault them for thinking that and not wanting more ""french"", but what the fuck am I supposed to do ? I sure as hell am not staying in a country where I despise the language and culture and am not welcome. I wish I had just one nationality and culture so I could be done with it and not waste my thoughts on that.

I'm a muttmerifat and I feel ya. My cowardly retard family moved here from Spain during ww2. The local white's think I'm a dirty Mexican, but family didn't teach me Spanish so the Mexicans don't accept me either. Really hate it here but I have no idea where'd I move to. Been an outsider my whole life.

I'm a beaner in americaland. It is the same when you are too american for the actual latinos but too latino for whites. I speak spanish half okay but there is clear difference between an american, an actual latino, and then "latino americans"

The only thing we can do is try to force and create a place for ourselves because it's not like anyone's gonna give it to us. In a few years perhaps I hope we'll have made our own home sweet home by then, but for now, I wish the best to you and may we find our answers as well as peace as soon as possible

I don't want to be a "latino american". I would be alright just being an "american". When you're a minority you are pigeonholed into being a minority. It is dumb. America already has its own culture. Those are just my two cents.

And I do not want to be a nafri however this is how we are perceived. Unfortunately I don't think there's anything we can do to change that perception. When I was younger and went to France for studies, I remember telling myself that "my life will change now that i am with people I should relate". And the entire time I was there the only way everyone would qualify me was just "that guy from the middle east or north africa" even when I would give them a french name didn't matter I was just only the arab guy. Back in my country everytime a conversation starts in arabic, i make clear that I don't understand shit and to speak to me in english or french they ask me about shit I have no idea about arab media and whatever and then they just ask why I'm still here then and to just fuck off to another country since I have another nationality. It's just easier for them to put us in a box and be done. I thank you for your messages though because I didn't think that these problems would happen in murica since I thought it already was kind of multicultural in the first place, a case of being self centered inside my head I guess. Thinking about it probably the only way to get rid of these problems in the future would be to prepare the education of children in advance to make sure they don't have multiple cultural backgrounds and spare them the identity issues and doubts.

I don't get it OP. You're genetically arab and live in an arab country but speak only french? How did it get to that?

>>82119651 (OP)
That sounds very maghrebi. I feel ya.

You can't force it. I guess the only thing you can do is try to meet them halfway. At some point you just are. You have to do whatever you have to do for your own self. Fuck the whole box or being grouped in. Find whoever it is you vibe with and are chill with. If i'm cool with a black dude, a white dude, whoever, then i'm cool with them. At some point it isn't even a race or sex thing, it is who you vibe with and who you don't. If you don't get along with yourself then that is another layer. You got different personalities and all kinds of different shit. I don't vibe with another "latino american" just because we're latino anymore than I vibe with a white man or black man just cause we're men and speak english. They're their own people and i'm my own person. It ain't easy but you're always something to someone. An employee, a brother, a coworker, a random dude just walking down the street, maybe a friend. I'm just ranting. My bad

Well my parents had decided that a french school was the way to go which lead to me only understading french and later english and only consuming french/english medias since supposedly I didn't want to learn arabic when I was younger so I am complaining here today

>>82120951
Everyday I am grateful for being born in Quebec instead of Algeria. I went there once for family, never again unless my parents die there and I attend their funeral. That got cemented when I was once hit with a familiar smell from Algeria when walking down the street, as I quickly turned around, I realized the smell came from a big pile of garbage.

>>82120941
Nah it's good I agree it's just sometimes there are days my brain asks stupid question like who am I truly and what the fuck I should be doing and it happens that today the mind was asking. I do have 2 or 3 friends abroad and without them I probably would be clueless as to the direction of my future. I wasn't expecting to get a single reply to be honest but the answers and seeing other people struggling with that shit, it comforted me somewhat even though that subconciously I knew there would be others struggling but to have the confirmation makes me feel less alone. I hope that the few who sees the thread gets the same comfort, as fleeting as it may be.

>>82120936
I wasn't made for that maghreb life style but I'm doing somewhat okay all things considered, thank you I appreciate the sentiment

>>82121124
I'm pretty sure that it's the same in all north africa, not enough trashcans and even when there are, our lovely brothers throw everything they want on the floor with no regards for the others or even themselves, which lead to even less trashcans since we're not using them. So stupid. Glad you could escape, hope Quebec isn't too cold this time of year

>>82121173
Oh no its summer I'm dying of heat. It wouldn't surprise me if they started stealing the trashcans if they ever built them.

Go to brazil or something. Nobody cares about race there.

Not sure I understand quite exactly what youre getting at, but I am a spic living in Mexico who grew up with what I like to call 'mediabrained' individuals. Over here the problem stems mainly from two situations, firstly foreigners and whites are generally wealthier, so the smoothbrain response is to imitate superficially what these do and one of the quickest ways is to imitate their taste in media. My family did that a lot, well before the introduction of the internet. I fucking hated it for many reasons but for me the biggest one was alienation from my immediate surroundings, filling your mind with crap that has no bearing on (my)reality. The second problem is that sometimes, foreign products/media are indeed superior, I am kind of guilty of this myself. You consume or take part in it due to lack of equivalent local offerings. I guess 4chan falls under this, and some music genres which I wont get into rn. But it has a similar effect in the end, the same youre experiencing, alienation. Also one side of my family is indeed pretty damn wealthy but im a pariah in the family so its whatever.

Ive seen people explain and elaborate on topics related to what youre living way better than im trying to here. Belonging, socioeconomic classes and their mobility, roots and culture, whatever. It is kind of ironic that many of those who leave our countries, never fully end up integrating where they went to and due to that their living conditions and opportunities begin to suffer. Likewise if you stay with 'your people' and social class, that can seriously limit growth and stagnate you.

Im older now so these thoughts pop in my head more and more often. When am I going to fuck off from 4chan and anglosphere social media, places that have no relation to my immediate circumstances? but then I go out and all I see is people guilty of the first problem I mentioned, or drinking themselves to death......

>so I could be done with it and not waste my thoughts on that.
Amen.
