I'm black, 14 and love punk rock but because I'm black people are always making comments like,"why are you trying to act white" and assume that I should be into Rap and RnB - which I don't mind but I prefer rock.
I find it really annoying when people in my school make stupid jokes like, "She's not sure what coulor skin she is" and stuff like that.
Like the other day a girl in my class came up to me and said,
"Clarise, why do you like rock"
And I replied, "Dunno, cos I think its cool, y do you like hip hop"".
And she said "Everyone likes hip hop (which is a lie), and I swear you're supposed to like it too".
I knew she meant because I was black. She's white herself but I don't think she has to like rock or any other kind of her music because of her race!
I wasn't bothered for an argument so I just left it at that and walked away.
This is really starting to p*ss me of.
Has anyone else had the same experience.
Any advice other than ignore them cos that doesn't help.
Thank u al.l
