Being mixed race is hard enough as it is and, to top it off, you still have to deal with ignorant people and their stupid questions. It took me a while to fully realize that people are really unaware of how diverse this country is. I am half black and half Indian and if I got a dollar every time someone asked me a stupid question about my race, I would be as rich as Donald Trump. So, let's begin the list of things you should never say to a mixed race person!

1. "Wow I've never heard of that combination! You're so pretty!"

Really, girl? It's not like I'm the only person in the world whose both mixed with these races. Stop acting like you discovered a new dinosaur bone.

2. "You look more like [insert race] than you do [insert race]."

I think what you mean to say is that I look more like my father than my mother. If your mother is full white and your dad is full black than you are 50 percent of each. No more no less.

3. "You have such interesting hair!"

I don't know whats so interesting about it. It's hair, it covers your head, that is it.

4. "Good thing you don't have to wear one of those weaves!"

HELLL NOOOO. First of all, there is nothing wrong with wearing weaves because again, it's just hair, second of all if I want to wear a weave regardless of my hair texture, I will wear a weave and what are you going to say about it? Don't EVER tell a black girl that she's "lucky" she didn't get "black girl hair" because she's mixed. It's racist AF!

5. "That's your mom? Who would have thought she was into [insert race] men!"

Honey, don't talk about parents like they're some kind of freaks because at the end of the day, they are both human beings and they are attracted to each other. THAT IS ALL!

6. "Imagine what your children would look like if you married an [insert race] man."

First of all, they would be cute as hell because I'm their mother and second of all please stop acting like we are some type of weird exotic creatures because at the end of the day, we are all human beings.

7. "The boys must love you, a lot of them are into mixed girls."

Being mixed should have nothing to do with whether or not a guy likes you and if it does than he's an idiot.

8. "You don't act like your [insert race]."

This is probably the worst thing you can ever say to a mixed race person. You can't "act" like a race! It's just not possible.

In conclusion, don't ask me or anyone else these types of questions. Thank you!
