For example, I got stopped at the border with my father and my sister because they thought we were trafficking my sister, because she looks the lightest of us all.
Or being called "white boy" in a fight in middle school. Or having some banger scream, "What you claim?" while I'm walking down the street.
But what I find the hardest to explore is the fact that being multiethnic -often- means being between roles/steps in the hierarchy- you're not welcome at the step above, and you're a reminder of the ladder for the folks below.
For example, many people don't know how to deal with me because even though I'm half-white, I don't therefore aim to "marry up" and write a lot about anti-racism.
The assumptions based in power roles is the part you generally end up having to deal with again and again, and that's the part that's the most defining, and, receives the least process as a community.
