What are you mixed with? Instant c00n status?

[K.O.N.Y]

Girl I had a man yell at me once because I would not admit it. I also had another tell me I was denying my heritage. IDK how some people mean it but I hate that shyt.

pics?

Soo you are fine? Can i dine you?

You don't even know what I look like.

How far back can you trace your family tree?

Far enough to know I ain't mixed.

on the real, i'm surprised nikkas are this emboldened to ask this still.

usually light-brites/mixed chicks get this question so often, i always assumed it was a turn off for them. my past two exes were mixed and light-skinned () and i never asked this until i had already gotten with them. a lot of mixed chicks seems to go through a tragic mulatto phase so its best to just not even touch the topic... lest the think you're "fetishizing" their features.

if she looks good, she looks good

One of my best friends is mixed. I had no idea what she was mixed with until like 3 months into our friendship when she told someone else. I never asked b/c I really don't care.

Today I asked what Rachel Roy was mixed with

Am I a c00n?

Most people think I am Ethiopian .

Lol. That's exactly what I thought when I seen the meetup pics.

I remember when a female barber asked me if I was Egyptian. I said "No, just black." I probably sounded dumb as hell but she has obviously never seen the average person from Egypt.

I'm not....

She called herself Becky and I just wanted to know her heritage

I don't think it's c00nish...I personally believe we shouldn't be so sensitive and look for reasons to be upset.
I'm from Jersey City NJ it's a very diverse city with a multitude of different cultures so usually if I asked a young lady is she mixed then she usually was . It's not that serious to me but then again I'm not a black woman and can't quite see things from her perspective

I'm not looking to be upset .I just don't like to waste time on a person (especially a Black person) who isn't thinking on a certain level. It just says a lot about a person who needs to know your race before they know your name.

Well, I'm Swedish, Cherokee and a little African.

I can see where it's a little c00nish. Some people may actually think they're complimenting you by asking you that ( which in it self means there is something wrong with them.) It surely Is a disrespectful first question to ask.

I don't ask because I got tortured as a kid when asked about some of my features. My grandmother used to let my hair grow out and it was apparently fascinating to her friends and other family members to see a black kid with with curly hair, defined eyebrows, long eyelashes with "china" eyes as they'd say back then in Charlotte.

The constant "Stella, he got them pretty white features like you." statements got tiring after awhile. My experiences would have me lean towards the shyt being c00nish tbh.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. The worst is when they ask and then they try to ask you the same question 3 or 4 other ways as if they are trying to decipher the truth.

Him: You mix?
Me: No
Him: You sure?
Me: Yes
Him: You mixed with White?
Me: No
Him: Hispanic?
Me: I said no.
Him: You sure?

Me:

Him: You are. You just don't know it.
