Thank You Thank You Thank You For This Post! I Have Always Been “half Latina Half White” Because

Thank you thank you thank you for this post! I have always been “half Latina half white” because my dad is Latino and my mom is not. I took an ethnic makeup test:

53% European (45% West & Centeal Europe)

24% New World (23% North & Central America)

16% Middle Eastern (16% Asia Minor)

I am less than 1/4 Latina! People were going around saying half simply because I’m tan like my father and unlike my mother. But then as soon as I announced these results someone said “the European is from your mother,”. Um… yes that would accurate if I only received 40% of my DNA from my dad and if Spain was no longer part of Europe. I think what they meant was “most of the European is probably from your mother,”

Don’t erase a mixed persons identity because they aren’t exactly 50/50

Don’t erase a mixed persons identity because they are part of a race/ethnicity that you don’t like

Don’t erase a mixed persons identity because they are multiracial but not multiethnic

Don’t erase a mixed persons identity because they grew up with one side of their family

Don’t erase a mixed persons identity because they only know the culture of one side of their family

Don’t earse a mixed persons identity because they don’t ‘look’ mixed

Don’t earse a mixed persons identity because they ‘look’ more like one side

Don’t erase a mixed persons identity because they don’t speak in a certain dialect or slang

Don’t erase a mixed persons identity because they don’t speak their native language(s)

Don’t erase a mixed persons identity because they don’t fit a stereotype

Don’t erase a mixed persons identity because you disagree with them

Just don’t do it at all.

Let’s be real- I’ve been packed for at least a week and I’ve unpacked and repacked both bags at least twice.

on our way to camp out

Camper: Will there be sinks at campout night?

Me: Nope, remember earlier when we hiked up to the campsite? Just a fire pit, no sinks.

Camper: Okay, are we bringing water?

Me: *carrying a jug of water, a jug of juice, s'mores supplies, kindling, water bottle ...* Don't worry, I've got water for you guys.

Camper: Is that the water? *points at purple juice?*

Me: ... is water usually purple?

Camper: Ohhhh is that juice?!

Dutch Auction Quotes

Since we're on an island in the Pacific Northwest and it's storming, we decided to have a pirate/nautical themed Dutch Auction. We told the teams "Someone has fallen overboard, bring your best floatation device". One girl and a boy walk up to us and:

Girl: "This is our floatation device; *gestures to boy*, he's a ginger and he's wearing a red shirt so he's already red like those lifeguard pool things, he floats really well, AND *forces boys mouth open* he's already missing a few teeth so it doesn't matter if someone sits on his face!"

I died from laughter for a solid two minutes.
