My mom’s always afraid I’ll get discriminated against because, according to her, I look like an immigrant. I guess at a passing glance my thick black curls might cause one to think I’m Moroccan or Arabic or something but once you see my face it’s pretty obvious that I’m white as hell.

The fact that she’s more concerned by the possibility of me being mistaken for an immigrant than the fact that immigrants get discriminated against in the first place is a bit telling…
