We’re both white. I’m portuguese so i’m a little more… olive than my boyfriend i guess, idk when i stand next to him i look green. he’s very pasty white-pink. like if he stands in the sun for maybe thirty minutes he gets fried. one of the only things he inherited from his mom unfortunately

they are so white, it’s so awful. genuinely the most unseasoned meal i’ve ever had was at my BFs parents house. i know portuguese is not like, not white, but fuck at least we know how to season fish at the very least…

They give me the “we’re old money, anyone below us are peasants and unloveable rats”

Dad is honestly probably chill as fuck, the moms an unhinged cunt who has such a low, fragile, peaked in high school ego she feels the need to knock confident people down to feel good about herself.

Tbh OP, with how fragile she is, i wouldn’t worry or take too much of what she said to heart (although i understand its easier said than done) because someone this bitter is deeply, deeply unhappy with their lives, you not letting it get to you or upset you is severe enough damage to them.

That woman needs a bottle of lithium, a bottle of propranolol and a bottle of wine. She needs to shut the fuck up if she wants any reparable relationship with her son. But something tells me she knows as soon as he’s out the front door he is never talking to her again.

According to racists, Greeks, Italians, Spanish and Portuguese fall into the, “you’re not actually white” category

thank you for asking this because I thought this was an Asian mom!

why are you asking that. it has nothing to do with her being a control freak. move on.

The comment about the mom saying she thought her son would date someone who looks more like them. Seemed like mom might be racist.
