Wow, you totally are missing the point aren't you? It's not the fact that she experienced racism, it's the fact that she had no support... look, being black, you've faced racism, but you undoubtedly had a support group, friends that were black, parents that were black, a black identity, something established. She had none, and her own parents didn't understand, couldn't relate, or refused to help. It's like comparing apples to oranges or missing the boat altogether. She's trying now I'm sure

Yeah, it sounds like her mother was trying to simplify the situation... obviously it's a lot more complicated.

Thank you so much for sharing! I have a kind of the same mum. She's a sweet woman, who will never understand. Finally, after 32 years, my Korean roots woke up, and now I dared to face them. I try not to care anymore whether my mother is wondering why. I am not her, she is not me. She raised me, but we don't share the blood tie.

my heart gos out to you. i'm half indian, adopted into a white family, the only non-white person in the town! i was called "paki" "Blackie" "America"(that kid was confused!)etc. My mum tried to help. she said i should call them "snowy or "whity" but it wasn't in my nature and wasn't the point..as you said. I'm 39 now and still have real identity issues. thanks for this video, its good to know i'm not alone!
