Mixed race people of reddit, are you "accepted" by both sides of your ethnicity?

I'm Irish/Dark skinned Latino. It honestly depends. Most white people don't care. But I did get a shotgun pulled on me called a Dirty Spick by a redneck out in the country when I went into his convenience store, and he told me that they don't like my kind there. It's funny, really. I look exactly like a brown skinned version of my maternal Grandfather (Irish), the brown/black hair is definitely his because despite the brown/black being on both sides, when it grows out, there are red/dirty blonde streaks.

All that looks Latino about me is the dark brown skin, the eyes are light brown and kind looking (no fucking clue where those came from, my father the demon has soulless black eyes), and the hair when it is short looks like the Latino side's hair.

With Latinos, I speak fluent Spanish as well as some Brazilian Portuguese and know most of the slang, and add in my ridiculously long latin sounding name and I'm one of the guys. Nobody gives a shit. For the most part, the Irish side and the Latino side don't get along, as each side thinks they are better than the other. The Latino side for the most part tends to shit on the Irish side when the Irish aren't there or say it in Spanish or Portuguese, while the Irish will talk shit to their faces. What they do agree on are their Roman Catholic values.

Listen, I'm not a man without a country. I'm lucky, because for the most part the discrimination I get isn't bad (didn't have to pay taxes one year because my boss didn't bother asking whether I was a citizen), and when it is bad, I don't let it bother me that much. I do get called a dirty spick or something along those lines relatively frequently, but it just sounds so stupid that I can't help but laugh and say, "I'm half Irish, motherfucker."
