— ethnically ambiguous ☆ ⁿᵒʷ ᵖˡᵃʸᶦⁿᵍ 4TT3NT10N . N3WJ34NS ☆ i feel like awareness needs to be raised abt this topic, as you barely hear abt it. i cant find a single thing on scratch abt this. if u have any questions or feedback pls lmk. this is written off of events one of my close friends faced some time ago, as a response to a poem, "hopscotch" by jayna yoon (read it, its so good). its written in a prose form, similar to a poem, so it might not make sense if you dont look a bit deep into it. pls be aware that ethnically ambiguous does not just refer to asian people, but that is the specific scenario i have written about. ☆ ethnically ambiguous a term denoting people of color. an unclear ethnicity and racial origin. sofia vergara, one of the highest-paid actresses on tv. dwayne johnson, who doesn’t know his name? he’s a black nova scotian and samoan descent, but is that what they thought? mindy kaling has a show and archie panjabi won an emmy and scored a deal to star in her own drama. fancy words, but all they mean is off-white skin color, an almond shape to the elongated eyes, unhooded lids, and makeup ten shades lighter than her skin so she “looks the part,” as they say. “she's just a white girl who tans really well.” this word stems from a world more profit-driven and desperate to avoid offending anyone, leaving inclusivity and diversity as an afterthought, not a necessity. ethnicity is not a puzzle for people to solve, it’s a life. thank you wowow that was so serious
