What do I have to say to get through your impenetrable head that I am neither white now perceived as white?
I don't have privilege as I am not white. Azerbaijan is outside of Europe. Iran is outside of Europe. I am not a white person. We are not seen as European. I'm not treated or seen as white. I do not look "white." This is not a hard concept to grasp. You have no understanding of my life and no idea what I look like or how I'm treated. I have no privilege nor benefit because I am not accepted as white. This is simply a factual admission of reality and not a sign of "white privilege". I don't have white privilege because I'm not white.
I live like a person of color ever single day of my life as I am one. Literally am one. No one treats an olive-skinned hijabi girl with a foreign name like she's white. What is completely amazing is that you think you have any right to tell me I'm white, tell me what I look like and what my life is like, tell me what my experiences with racism are. Me experiencing microaggressions and name-calling is racism - not "white fragility." I'm experiencing racism. I have literally been told by people I'm not European or white. I don't get to choose to be white one day. I don't get to choose to be treated like a white person. I have my own experiences and you need to be learn to listen me when I talk about racism and the prejudice I face.
Yes, the entire idea of racial classifications is in itself racist. There is no clear place where I fit or where many MENA people fit, but it's clear we aren't regarded as whites in America, so many of us feel no reason to identify as such. You are not Eurasian or MENA. You have no idea of the racism or prejudice we experience. You have no right to be telling us what to see ourselves as. What you need to learn to do is shut the fuck up, listen, stay in your lane, and stop obnoxiously insisting MENA/Eurasian people are whites not knowing what we experience literally out of not being white.
Maybe one day you can grow out of your rudeness, ignorance, obnoxiousness and condescension and learn to listen when other people tell you what their lives are like and what racism we experience.
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Please and thank you. :)
