I grew up as the only non-white girl in my town, and now that I’m in college it feels weird. Like I don’t really belong anywhere. I’m half Arab, and idk, I don’t know how to explain it other than it feels like I don’t fit in.

Whatever college your in there’s probably a mosque nearby, there might be other Arabs there and you might fit in there

The whitest city in the US is Hialeah with 92.6% of the population identifying as white. Maybe you come from a small town that has a higher white population where apparently you’re the only non white person, in which case I really wanna know what that town is

Again. I’m glad you’re the expert I must’ve just missed all the other non-white girls my age.

Don’t make absolute statements unless they are true, it immediately makes you unreliable

Sorry about that. I’ll make sure to always be incredibly specific and literal, and never exaggerate again, while also keeping the character count below 255 because this is Yik yak.

Sorry I’m being a bitch but the first sentence gave me an ick, sorry

It’s okay. Honestly my fault for coming on Yik yak to vent about struggling with my identity at college.

It’s actually pretty on brand for my life, having to continuously justify my life. Being told I look too white to be Arab, while also having guys fetishize me for being “exotic”. Or having my town’s racial population explained to be because I wasn’t literal enough in explaining how it felt growing up without any friends I could relate to racially.

So thanks for being here to pick apart the wording of my post and explain the demographics of where I’m from. I honestly wasn’t feeling shitty enough when I made this. But again I guess, my fault. Idk what else I expected

the craziest part is you picking apart the one sentence that you knew for a fact was hyperbolic (unless you’re autistic or have a lack of critical thinking skills the oops) to go back and forth about. obviously this girl grew up in a predominantly white town where it DID feel like she was the only non-white girl. 80% is insane. like respond to something else bro
