Is my family being unfair/discrimatory
So I’m the 6th child of 7 and were all adopted, my parents are both white and all my siblings have dark skin( I’m mixed with black and white and have light skin) I don’t have a problem with it but sometimes my family makes me feel uncomfortable. Growing up they would say I’m white and offensive things about white people near me( I ignore them) I also heard about my siblings talking about white people then when I would walk in the room they’ll stare at me and try not to say anything even though I already heard them. Sometimes they even go as far as mock me for my white accent growing up and question me of why I eat Italian food all the time. We also live in a white area so because the other white people are judgmental of them they started to take it out on me but I never said or did anything to them growing up. My white parents even tried to make me more white like them by forcing me to straighten my hair, perm it, relax it, etc. I’ve told my mom about what my siblings have said to me and my mom ignored it. It’s pretty much gotten to the point where I don’t wanna be in the same room as them or even talk to them anymore for being offensive. My sister (she’s Hispanic and black) would tell my black sister and other mixed sister (white and black) to not say those things about me. When I was hanging out with One of my friends she brought her other friend ( Hispanic and black) to come along and my Latina friend told me that “she’s Latina and black and she’s adopted like me so we could relate and I was like “omg we might be able to” and my black sister started laughing. Also when my other siblings say something about race or jokes about race my family doesn’t get offended then all of a sudden when I say it they accuse me of being racist and tell me to watch my mouth even though I’ve heard my mom say racial slurs before in front of me but not my siblings. I don’t get why that they have dark skin they could say it but once I do everybody in the house wanna start fighting. I have even thought about changing my name and not speaking to my family when I move out the house.
