i love mitski.. she expresses my emotions so well. I always felt little around my white family cuz Asian genes are stronger. My grandma always treated my white looking cousin better. It hurts. Also trying to impress white boys by acting white. I felt so weird next to my dad cuz i didnt look like him. I felt he was better then me. Growing up in a white school hurt as well. They were racist and always treated me as if i wasn't as good as them. I would always scrub really hard in the shower with a scrubber thinking the 'dirt' would come off my skin when i was six years old. My friends of colour and i would always take the white barbie dolls and never take the ones of colour. And it makes me so mad when i see white people calling me sensitive. My own dad said i was dramatic and white people faced the same racism as poc. I still get embarrassed to tell people in half south asian as boys often lose interest, make fun of me or treat me different . It isn't only the white community who makes us poc feel bad. We also get told my our own community sometimes to "not go in the sun to get dark". Whoever says racism does not exist anymore is blind. Mitski is my therapy and im sorry to any of my gorgeous woc who can relate in any way
I'm sorry for your struggles. Racism is just so terrible. I know it is a weird way to relate to this, but people have coloured skin in the place I live, with mostly brown hair and brown eyes. That's why people tell me I am so pretty for having colorful eyes and blonde hair, but is that really what makes me pretty? I feel the world is being white-washed as a white myself. All races are just beautiful and it's ridiculous to compare them
@@vivid7654 I agree this world is so cruel. I hope one day the white supremacy will end. I’m sure you’re beautiful with or without your blonde hair and blue eyes. And thank you for having empathy. Your words mean a lot to me. I’m so sorry for what you’ve been through, it must’ve been uncomfortable for you to hear those comments from people. I’m glad we can relate even though our situations are different :)
I wish I was "the sun". White people don't understand their privalage. Why. I got bullied and treated differently growing up because I wasn't one of them. I was different. I started adapting their culture, and abandoning my own. I can't speak my mother language I can't write or read in my mother language. I have no idea how my religion works because I tried adapting to their religion. Why do we "Ausländer" (Foreigners) get treated like this. Being called Kanake, being tolf "you look good for a Kanake!!" Or "your German is good as a foreigner!!"
I understand you ❤️ I'm a turk living in Germany and it's hard just know that you're heard and many people out there love you ♥️ you're human like all of us and you deserve to be heard
i'm a latino-hispanic trans guy im not sure if im poc but this actually fucking hurts, but i hope everyone in this comment section is doing well, you all deserve the world
god i hope the ppl in this comment section r ok bc this mentality is so hurtful in itself and i’m guilty of this when i was younger, i promise to you there are ppl out there who love you regardless of your race you are not less of a human being and it’s not your fault, don’t let race separate you from other people and don’t distance yourself from others because of their race everyone is human and everyone is loved by somebody
that feeling when, because of the war in Ukraine, you had to move permanently to Germany, and being a half-breed (I'm an Arab and half Ukrainian), you are treated with contempt at school simply because I am ukrainian and black :) I want to go home ..
I grew up mixed so my dad was white and my mom was black. I grew up always wanting to be like the white side of my family, and I always thought I wasn't loved by my dad because I wasn't white. And I relate so much to "your the one you're all i ever wanted I think I'll regret this" because I used to like this guy but he only dated white girls, and I was so in love with him ☹️
I'm white asf but I still like this song. I relate this to how my grandparents treat me. I grew up close to them but they constantly confuse and distress me and look down on everything I do and I just want things to be okay.
I'm not a poc but I relate to this song, I was born near a lot of drugs and guns. "your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me." I'm trans, ftm, and have a boyfriend who lives in the UK
LYRICS If I could, I'd be your little spoon And kiss your fingers forevermore But, big spoon, you have so much to do And I have nothing ahead of me You're the sun, you've never seen the night But you hear its song from the morning birds Well, I'm not the moon, I'm not even a star But awake at night I'll be singing to the birds Don't wait for me, I can't come Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me But I do, I think I do And you're an all-American boy I guess I couldn't help trying to be your best American girl You're the one You're all I ever wanted I think I'll regret this Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me But I do, I finally do And you're an all-American boy I guess I couldn't help trying to be the best American girl Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me But I do, I think I do
For me the “ur mother wouldn’t approve of how my mother raised me” feels like having strict and toxic parents when ur s/o doesn’t and “I’m not the moon I’m not even a star” feels like ur s/o is pretty while ur not and “u have so much to do and I have nothing ahead of me” ur a weird kid and ur s/o isnt and having strict parents
This song is about the struggles of being a poc, I mean yes mitski is ok but the struggle of being comfortable in her own skin is a struggle that sometimes is very hard for poc to accept due to racism. Making them wish they were white. :(
i'm not poc, but im a slavic person living in america? and most of our representation in the media is either stereotypes or f*tishizati*n. a lot of people think that all slavs look pretty, i don't. I have a hooked nose and thin eyes. i also don't fit into being slavic or american when it comes to people. i cannot speak my native tongue, but my food and traditions are odd to non slavic people. my mother raised me harshly as well.
i'm not a pick me, please. i don't like "fitting" the beauty standard. it's so toxic, i don't want to embody it. i don't like that my ethnicity is trendy. i don't want to be korean if people like me just for that. i don't like being thin, i don't like having an hourglass body, i don't like my round eyes, i don't want my long hands. i didn't choose it, i didn't choose to look this way. i don't like looking like society's image of a girl. i'm an androgyne. why can't i envy anyone? why is it not okay? why am i ungrateful? she didn't choose her soft curves, he didn't choose his curly hair, they didn't choose their beautiful skin. i didn't choose either? it took so long to like my body. please don't let it be my fault i didn't want it. please don't let it be my fault that i got it.
This hits hard when your crush called you racial slurs
I'm genuinely so sorry, I literally don't know you, but I really hope you're doing okay and find someone way better than that.
frl
relate (except not slurs but rather offensive and discriminatory names)
Me fr!!!!
oh my god i’m so sorry you deserve so much better than that , you are loved
As woman of color this hurts,I love this song
real
"you're the one, you're all I ever wanted I think I'll regret this" damn
Hardest lyric

@tocacatty your mother wouldnt approve of how my mother raised me

THIS IS MY FAVORITE MITSKI SONG AND I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
あなたがハーフブリードであるとき、あなたは日本人でもドイツ人でもなく、より良い人々の真ん中にいる女の子にすぎません...💔
ミツキーが大好きで、私は彼女と多くを同一視しています、日本人の混血だけがドイツ人です
I understand you ❤️ I'm a turk living in Germany and it's hard just know that you're heard and many people out there love you ♥️ you're human like all of us and you deserve to be heard
私もハーフ（日米）なので、気持ちはよくわかります。
でもそんなとこが一番美しいところと思います!!
ファイト!!! 💗💗
(ごめん私の日本語あんまり良くないで)
i think i understand, im half ukrainian and half asian. i used to hate that so much:-(
i hope that you'll feeling better!!!

This song is like jealousy. The sun to the moon, but i'm not the moon. I'm not even a star.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
this one's for the people keeps changing their selves to look more "American" so THAT person would like them
that feeling when, because of the war in Ukraine, you had to move permanently to Germany, and being a half-breed (I'm an Arab and half Ukrainian), you are treated with contempt at school simply because I am ukrainian and black :) I want to go home ..
oh… i am so sorry… as caucasian i can partly relate( you didn’t deserve that pain!

AND YOUR MOM WOULDNT APPROVE OF HOWMY MOM RAISED ME, BUT I DO I FINALLY DO😭😭
"but big spoon, you have so much to do, and i have noting ahead of me."
LYRICS
If I could, I'd be your little spoon
And kiss your fingers forevermore
But, big spoon, you have so much to do
And I have nothing ahead of me
You're the sun, you've never seen the night
But you hear its song from the morning birds
Well, I'm not the moon, I'm not even a star
But awake at night I'll be singing to the birds
Don't wait for me, I can't come
Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me
But I do, I think I do
And you're an all-American boy
I guess I couldn't help trying to be your best American girl
You're the one
You're all I ever wanted
I think I'll regret this
Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me
But I do, I finally do
And you're an all-American boy
I guess I couldn't help trying to be the best American girl
Your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me
But I do, I think I do
TYSM
THANK YOUU !!! 💖
I wish I was ‘the sun’.
i love mitski sm
For me the “ur mother wouldn’t approve of how my mother raised me” feels like having strict and toxic parents when ur s/o doesn’t and “I’m not the moon I’m not even a star” feels like ur s/o is pretty while ur not and “u have so much to do and I have nothing ahead of me” ur a weird kid and ur s/o isnt and having strict parents
DON'T WAIT FOR ME. I CAN'T COME.
I love mitski sm but is she okay?☹️💔
