Coconuts as in "brown and hairy on the outside, white on the inside"?
That's pretty funny lol
I'd heard the slur before, but not the full version of it.
Honestly, telling people they're not "Brown" enough is no different from the race traitor nonsense that gets thrown around sometimes.
Yep. I've been there myself. It's strange being "between worlds" as it were, but I've come to terms and even celebrate my multiculturalness.
