Do you use the term "ethnic" to refer to all non-whites, or just brown people?

I know. And I don't like being put on a pedestal, I tell them time and time again I'm just as ethnic as they are.

I can tell you a situation I encountered with a primary school teacher that was blatantly racist towards me and other ethnics.

nigga, listen here.

Your primary school situation is nothing. I got laughed at by my pakistani female teacher when all the other pakistani kids were bullying me while I was in primary school. The very system you benefit from, fucks me over. Even other ethnics - pakistanis, view me as lower. The struggles you face are very minor and I advise you stop trying to wear the chains of racism when you are the one benefitting from it.

It's only upon learning your name are people mean to you or ignore you, I experience that shit daily dude. You literally experience very little of the ethnic experience, unless you see people avoiding speaking to you, middle class whites having an expression of disgust behind their fake smiles, pakistanis calling you the n word, your parents calling you ugly because of your colour, etc. Then please stop trying to say you get treated like an ethnic.

I use the term "ethnic" to refer to all people of colour, yet on here most people only seem to reserve the term for brown (non-European Caucasoid, and to a lesser degree, Mestizo) people.

Multiple choice poll.

There are some Romanians, Albanians, Italians that look a bit ethnic but it just feels wrong to label them that

So only non white passing

Those are still white people

Anyone who visibly appears non white. People assume race mostly on phenotype, so in reality your appearance is your race.
