My sis is dramatically lighter in complexion than me personally, has a far more Caucasian nose, and appears biracial to outsiders.
Growing up, I remember being so envious of her lighter skin and hair that is straighter calling her the pretty one and myself the smart one. I internalized this texting, frequently convinced that if We had simply gotten the gene for light epidermis, or the gene for the long, wavy Indian locks of my mom, I would personally be looked at more conventionally appealing.
