I am mixed race, half white and half chinese. My mom was born and raised in the Philippines and spoke Cebuano and Tagalog growing up. Our dad was, in short, a racist white man and definitely had no business marrying and having kids with a Filipina/Chinese woman, yet here we are. My mom also reinforced the white supremic thinking, so it's a two way street.

Long story short, when I would ask my mom about why she never taught me and my siblings her language (because all of our cousins, titas, titos, etc. spoke her language), her reason always changed. Now, she tells us as we are all older that we don't get her and that we're too white. It hurts a lot.

Has anyone experienced this?
