I never experienced any strong racism for being mixed but apparently my dad did. Apparently several people in my mom’s side of the family disapproved of her marrying my dad because he wasn’t “white enough” and they refused to acknowledge it or attend the wedding. That’s pretty crazy to me considering I didn’t even realize we weren’t white until I was already an adult, he just looks kinda tan if anything.

Like any ability to know she sounded different than everyone else was filtered out by my brain just being completely familiar with her the way she is
