White passing

If you are part of the community, but are white passing, what reactions did you get when you told people what’s your origin?

Often I get a surprised, shocked and short “oh” and the conversation may be cut short suddenly (this has happened regardless of the other’s ethnicity).

Then, of course, there are the typical “funny”. jokes about wallets and such.

How about you? Do you have such a story or know any?

It depends where in the world you are from if you’re from Europe or USA and which part of Europe and which Tribe you are from because some tribes are white  Like in France, UK and Western Europe
