'A lot of people try to write off a lot of my experiences because I present white.'
for their August cover, the 26-year-old — whose mother is white, and father is Black — said she has dealt with people trying to"write off" her experiences because of the way she looks."A lot of people try to write off a lot of my experiences because I present white," Halsey said.But, they added, they are aware of the"disadvantages and violence" they would face if they did not pass as white.
They elaborated:"No matter how many tears I've shed because I'm not connecting with my family or my culture in a way that I would like to, or because the waitress thinks I'm the babysitter when I go out with my family — none of that would compare to the tears that I would shed for presenting phenotypically Black and the disadvantages and the violence that I would face because of that.
In the midst of last summer's Black Lives Matter protests, Halsey responded to accusations on Twitter that she did not"claim her Black side."wrote at the time ."I've always been proud of who I am but it'd be an absolute disservice to say 'we' when I'm not susceptible to the same violence." She went on to admit some of her family members have"a lot of guilt" about the fact that she passes as white, saying:"I think this is really common for mixed families.""You want your kids to have an advantage in life," Halsey explained."That unfortunately puts them in a position of denying their heritage."
