Amazing to find this series. So many things strike a chord. Couple of things Pelle said really stood out for me - "you’re highly unlikely to come across someone who is mixed and would identify as white, even though we technically could" - thing is, technically, but we know we don't fit. White is white and not beige (or whatever my skin is described as).
And then, the both sides thing hurts, because while we benefit from different degrees from colourism, we end up with nowhere to belong.
