For example, when people say stupid stuff like you can only say half of the n-word? Or that you're not "black enough" and can't comment on those discussions? Once on 'diversity day', I wore a kanga and people came up to me asking why am I wearing that 🙃

I'm mixed black african and white british but raised by single mum (white) and her family so I can feel a bit disconnected from my culture at the best of times. It doesn't help that I haven't met my dad, but it just really bothers me when people at school feel like they can decide how black I am 😭

Any tips on responding to these comments and maybe also getting in touch with a culture that feels super out of reach?
