#just something) but people say that thats an outdated term used only to make brazils population not look as black and indigenous as it is

today i got asked if i consider myself black. i have literally no fucking clue do you understand the can of worms you just tried to open

#do you want the ''idk'' answer or the 1 hour discussion #like uuuuuh. uh. well #cause you see my birth certificate says ''parda'' (brazilian term for ppl of mixed ethnities that are like. too mixed or too light to be #just something) but people say that thats an outdated term used only to make brazils population not look as black and indigenous as it is #and pardos should just consider themselves what they are so ig im black but i have never suffered any racism or literally anything bc of my #skin color or features so it feels shitty to call myself black if ive never lived it but doesnt saying that resume the experience of black #people to racism which sucks and ive had a friend who was lighter than me and considered herself black say im ''basically white'' but ive #also had a black friend who was darker than me say i was the only other black person in our class but also i feel like the word black #is more for people who are more visibly black than i am cuz i feel like im just the midway point between pale and brown i just look like #half of the population here and i didnt even realize i Was black until i was like 11 and read ''pardo isnt a color'' on facebook bc before #that i was always just ''moreninha'' or ''neguinha de mamae'' or whatever and THEN theres the fact that like 2 years ago i realized my dad #is probably actually indigenous and not black and just never knew cause idk he didnt live in a forest ig so ppl assume hes just black #even tho his features and state hes from kinda indicate he is indigenous and that means IM actually indigenous too not just the black from #my moms side which is a whole other fucking thing but honestly at the end of the day i csnt afford a dna test and it wouldnt change my life #in the slightest to know all that so the final answer to your question is: #idk
