Are there any biracial people that have had a positive experience growing up, haven’t had been through an identity crisis and don’t feel targeted by the Reform party?! 🙏😅

Me. And most of the rest of us, I’d assume. You could try posting this in Black MN (and I think there’s a South Asian section), but you might get slated as it’s a bit of an odd post.

That's a whole lot of intense questions.

I didn't have an identity crisis per say but did wish I was either white or black fully from time to time. I didn't find my tribe until my 30s. While I had friends and some close ones, I never did quite fit in. Always a bit of an outsider due to my cultural mix.

I had a very happy and fulfilling childhood, bordering on the privileged side of life. Any of that privilege fell away as a young adult entering to job market. Systematic racism is alive and well.

In regards to Reform- I'm also an immigrant to the UK. Whoowhoo! I'm nearly carrying a full house on the Reform BINGO card except I'm not nor have ever been on benefits and paid my dues to be here rather than arrive here on a small boat.

As far as being "targeted" is concerned, yes is the answer. But if it's not Reform it will/woukd be another uber right wing party of diversity haters and gentle racists.

Thank you so much for sharing. What was the job market you went into?
