Ugh, stuff like #4 always makes me feel so awful. I can’t help it that I’m from a white American family! My parents don’t know anything about their heritage–my dad was adopted (his adopted family’s culture is basically just “Christian” which neither he nor I am), my mom’s mom was adopted, and they’re just not really into that kind of stuff.
I know that advice was directed for people who DO have some cultural background, but am I really going to be viewed negatively because my background isn’t diverse?
