Text 25 Dec 26 notes I’m umm, white?

My ethnic and racial background is pretty damn mixed, from Chilean to Sephardi Jew to Welsh to Native American, and just about everything in between. In theory, I could check about any box under race, but in reality (look at my pictures), I check “White.” The name Hector has had its ups and downs, I know I got scholarships because of it, but I also know I was turned down for jobs. And then of course, when a girl talks about me to her family…

Some time back, I went with my then GF to her parent’s house for a party. While talking to her mom, thinking her mom was introduced to me already, she says “Hector and I have been dating for a few months…”

“Hector! You’re dating a ‘Hector?!’ I’m not racist but how could you do that?!” I was right next to them.
