6 Things You Should NEVER Say To A Mixed Chick
Kenny LaPeters

Growing up as a half-white half-black girl in a predominantly white town wasn't easy, but it gave me a lot of material for my future memoirs and therapy sessions. If you want to avoid not offending the next mixed girl you meet, here's my list of things you should never ask or comment about to a mixed girl.

1. "Were you adopted?"

Okay first off you probably shouldn't ask anyone if they were adopted, it's super rude and just points out what the kid already knows: they look different then the family you see them with. Pointing it out just makes them feel more uncomfortable with themselves and the situation, so next time you feel the need to ask someone that, don't. If it turns out they were adopted, they will tell you on their own time.

2. "I could tell you were black because of your hair, other than that you look white."

This comment I hear all the time, from black people, white people, everyone. When you first meet someone why do you feel the need to comment about how white they look or what about them is black or not, just ask me about what I like to do in my spare time like a normal person, Susan?

3. "If you could be 100% of one what would it be black or white?"

You're asking me which race I would rather be as if one is better than the other, it's not. I like being both and it's great to be both, I get the best of both worlds and I'm unique like a unicorn.

4. "What type of guys are you into black, or white?"

Neither, you all make me sick. Just kidding, Kenny, you are alright.

5. "You are my token black friend and you're not even really black."

LOL. Except I am really black thank you very much. You don't say someone's not really Irish if they were only 50% do you? So stop telling me I'm not really black.

6. "You're the whitest black chick I have ever met." or "You don't act black."

I. Hate. This. Comment. I'm black and I'm acting a certain way so, therefore, I'm acting black. Sorry if I'm breaking stereotypical norms you're used to but don't tell me I'm not acting the way you think I should act based on things you've seen on TV.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
