I'm incredibly sick of the white girl stereotype okay.
So I'm white.
And I'm a girl.
Technically a white girl.
But I'm not a "common" white girl.
I don't like Starbucks except for their hot chocolate, only because it doesn't burn off your taste buds like Dunkin Donuts does.
I don't like shopping, makeup, or mani-peti's. In fact, I hate all three of those things.
I don't have every Apple device and social media account on the planet.
I'm not falling out of my house's windows because I'm so loaded that my parents will get me a car the day I turn sixteen.
I'm not happy with everything in my life. I don't have the perfect boyfriend or fawn over guys every day of my life (okay, I kind of do, but fangirling is different).
But most of all, I can't stand selfies.
I don't care if other people take them, that's totally fine. Do what you want with yourself. But I find myself to be incredibly not-photogenic. Every time I take a picture of myself, I can see every pimple and blemish on my face, every out-of-place hair, the tiniest difference between how open my eyes are. I can't stand selfies. I just can't pull them off.
I don't like that I'm put into a category just because of my skin color and ancestry. In a really backhanded way, it's racist. Say what you want, but it's like saying all black people swear in every sentence and rap and live in ghetto neighborhoods with their pants around their ankles. Or that all Mexicans wear sombreros and play maracas and are willing to work in a white man's garden for $12 an hour.
Don't categorize people just based on the way they look, okay? People aren't only skin deep. Look inside a person before calling them a "white girl" or something stupid like that.
I'm a person.
Recognize me as me.
