Kenneth wasn't just 'not emotionally attuned,' he was completely checked out. I hate that some men do that; just completely detach and withdraw so the woman can break up with them. They will literally do everything possible to avoid looking like the bad guy at all costs.
Yeah he didn’t deserve her at all. Wish they didn’t hit it off in the pods lol. She could have spent her time elsewhere with someone that would have appreciated her.
@@FieryMaQso true, both of you. Even if she didn’t connect with anyone else she wouldn’t have gotten her hopes up for someone who wasn’t going to make an effort.
@@Foreverdensword That's terrible. Kenneth is an attractive man. The issue is that he is gay, so Brittany was never going to fill his actual need. Perhaps LIB needs a LGBT version?
People need to chill about the phone thing. He literally didn't have access to a phone that entire time and needed to catch up with some work emails. It shouldn't be that big of a deal.
I think you hit the nail on the head. Kenneth liked the fantasy of what Britney was, but that didn’t translate into the real world. I really feel for Britney, she seems like a sweet person
Did you notice how excited Kenneth was to see Clay and AD interacting? He was more "turned on" by their display of love and affection than he was about his own relationship.
I’m convinced that the show needs occasional appearances from a therapist/ dating Coach to guide the way and truly tap into conversations that matters.
I totally agree ,TOo hot to handle brought in dating coaches to guide the casts through workshops which was good for the casts while they were dating and it made realize their mistakes and fears while dating and it didn't affect the drama at all
Based on what Clay said on the the proposal I got the impression they do see therapist during the pods. But I think they def should bring that to the audience.
I was so sad for Brit when he got his phone back. Completely disconnected from her. He seemed so emotionless in their breakup! I was so excited to hear you dissect it
Apparently it wasn’t like that- they had broken up off camera on the flight back to the states- they both came out with interviews about it🤷♀️. I can’t wait for the reunion…
@@RenayOpishreally? Than why on earth did she move things into drawers etc? I’m not surprised that production would want to film a break up but dang the whole moving in thing for real ugh
To him the issue of her skin color was too big of a deal. I wonder how we'd be acting if the shoe was on the other foot and she broke up with him because of his skin tone.
Kenneth saying he was smothering her with affection on the boat, when he wouldn't even hold her hand, staring into space while she grasping at him. He really flipped a switch after the AD conversation.
@@Eddybaby01I don’t think it was because of AD what’s so ever but I do agree he was looking for a way out .. he liked the fantasy of Brittany but it didn’t come thru in the real world
@@Eddybaby01I don't like how he went about it but if your white spouse has a very white woman response to a genuine question a black woman had brought up about raising brown babies and reality hits you in the face she not ready for that then it's a chop. He should've just broke it off when he felt different, instead he turned into an ass/coward.
it was definitely the AD convo. As a black woman I could tell he began to withdraw the moment he realized how 'his people' would look at him if he dated a white woman. He even said "if my girl bestfriend found out i'm dating a white woman, she'd pull me aside and ask if i'm okay" like what??
He was so dismissive after the conversation with AD. Britney was being so honest but he was def gaslighting her into thinking she was the only one who was seeing the relationship as it was. He was all talk and time showed his lack of emotions and concern for her and prioritizing the relationship and commitment. The boat scene was so painful to watch since he was like a block of ice
I think waking you up while sleeping (if there is NO emergency like the house on fire) is a precursor to worse violence. It shows they have no respect for that person’s health, well-being, or physical boundaries
I cried so hard for both of them.. and also many of us who desire love and finding your person while working through all the past trauma and insecurity..
AD: I choose player and ballers, I ignore red flags, chooses clay. Tells clay even though his father cheated on his mom repeatedly for 25 years there was beauty in the relationship. 😂😂😂😂 clown behavior
I genuinely hadnt realized Kenneth was gaslighting her in that last conversation and hearing you dissect his words so clearly was rlly helpful since I can be more aware of behaviours to watch out for 😭😭 thank you !!
Same! From just the first watch, I thought it felt like a reasonable conversation even though Kenneth’s conclusion to end their relationship felt abrupt. Then I head to RU-vid for my favorite LIB analyses videos and have to re-evaluate how easily I can get gaslighted LOL
There’s a part of me that thinks Kenneth wasn’t attracted to Brittany from the reveal and had been thinking of a way out. I think that conversation with AD gave him the perfect opportunity to shut down
@@MJ31579 Kenneth saw a friend when that reveal happened. Nothing came genuinely to him when it came to interacting with her. To me he was always going thru the motions his facade just rapidly fell apart in each episode. I was honestly surprised the producers gave them any screen time. I’m assuming that mainly happened only because they made it just past the honeymoons.
Sarah Ann and Britney must have enjoyed ad's wedding if she wasn't so focused on other people's relationships she would have noticed her man doesn't want her.
I agree with you! Like Kenneth is whole man. I get that what AD could have said may have put some doubt in him but come on now! He can think for himself…
I don’t get why noone sees that it was Brittany that was not physically attracted to him?! Kenneth felt genuinely attracted to Brittany. Brittany just tried to laugh everything off and set their relationship into friendship mode since the first time they saw each other. Eventually Kenneth felt rejected and closed down. Brittany’s half hearted attempts of adding some kind physical parts to the relationships just felt empty when I saw it so clearly at the reveal that she was not physically attracted. But I feel like I am the only one in the world to see this which usually means I am wrong. But can’t shake the feeling of what I see :)
What I found most interesting was that Kenneth actually put his phone down in their final conversation. He was attentive when it was time to break things off .
he tried hard to make us think he was a considerate person then with oh you're not attracted to me because you said no when you were asleep 🙄 - I didn't do anything wrong ,victim playing - very manipulative
@@rebeccalaff853yeah, nahh. I have a 24 year old son who runs circles around this man child. My son is so mature I have to remind him that he’s only 24 and not 42!!😂
Sadly, I think a lot of men who are deep in the Black Church view wives as accessories, something you just need to have as a man of God because the Bible says that's the way. They don't view being a husband as something they need to really work at and grow in emotionally. To them, wives have all these duties and requirements for how to serve them and the family, but they as husbands just need to "lead" and exist. He seemed completely emotionally cut off from her, but I've seen that often in religious men claiming they want marriage. It's unfortunate, but didn't really surprise me at all. Emotional labor is for wives only according to a lot of churchy teachings.
@@elin_but that is like saying one more reason not to work in corporate America or participate in any other institution. PEOPLE are people, and make individual choices that don’t reflect a whole community. Nothing to do with religion as a whole.
That is all churches tbh. Its why women are choosing divorce. They want to be seen and treated with the same respect as a man aka a human. Its sad its 2024 and we are still battling this.
Interesting. Im an atheist, but my wife is a Christian and we spend a lot of time reading Christian literature. I haven’t found what you said about the “churchy teachings” to be very accurate. I know a few offensive verses about women in the church, but most intelligent individuals would chalk that up to the times. Black church must be significantly different. The ones I visited growing up certainly didn’t have a time limit to their services.
i knew the relationship was doomed when she said that she wants to be submissive and he got weirdly excited. of course he wasn't going to cook, of course he wasn’t going to care of her, he just wanted a good christian girl to do everything for him.
Repeating the phrase "For you" is wild smh. Performative romantic gestures is the new slick red flag during this sassy man apocalypse.❤ Great commentary
So much of their relationship I felt was colored by their religion. When I’ve been in spaces with really Christian/traditional people women tend to get the short end of the stick. That first night home when he said of course you have to cook I saw that as his expectation for a traditional relationship so to him it seemed like a no brained. Meanwhile Brittany and women are expected to handle most household and emotional labor. To me he was acting in the role he expected to have and she just got a glimpse of how that role sucks for women. That’s why I was soooo turned off by their conversations in the pods, everything was about how they aligned religiously but not who they were as individuals and what they needed beyond the roles their religion sets. When a woman says I want to be submissive my first thought is always, “do you really, do you really know what that entails?”
Their final conversation was extremely triggering for me coming from a past relationship where I experienced someone consistently gaslighting me - I’m grateful she got out then before marrying him!
I was once in a relationship where the man completely checked out months before we broke up. When I saw what Brittany was going through, as bad as it sounds, I'm glad their relationship got snuffed out quick so she can focus on healing. Being in that space for long can kill your psyche.
Well broken down about this couple, I felt like no one touched on how Kenneth switched up and Brittany was left feeling like she was asking for too much.
He immediately seemed DL to me. It’s his voice, mannerisms and the phrases that he says. Straight men do not talk with their hands as much and they don’t use phrases like “it’s giving”. Another giveaway was how excited he was about her wanting to wait. I understand that some people don’t want have relations too soon, but his reaction was like a relief. It was obvious to me.
I felt that after A.D. spoke with him about raising black children...that got Kenneth thinking and worrying about what the people in his circle might think about him marrying a white woman. It got in his head so he shut her down in a cold manner. At first i was so impressed with how well he treated her...like a gentleman should. My heart hurt for Jessica. She seemed like such a sweet young woman!
Nothing wrong with raising mixed children. I thought us as a humankind were more evolved in this situation. I wonder why he has such strong reservations ????
@@yatal.1501 agreed. AD was doing wayyyy too much. It would make anyone uncomfortable. It was unnecessary considering the show is about falling in love without seeing the other person
Perhaps because the narrative of the skin color matters more rather than if you’re a decent person and this is my opinion. I have noticed lately everything comes with an agenda. At the end of the day we’ll never know the actual why. Britt was honestly one of my favs.
@@Ashley-yy3dewhat if she matched with Metthew? Would she have walked away as soon as she saw he was white? Strange for her to have said all those things
He tried to portray himself as a leader in the pods but all we saw in the real world was a petulant little boy. That woman deserves so much better. She has the patience of a saint.
I think the interracial aspect was a possible out for him for prospective in the show…a family member (which has been proven) came out to say he is not attracted to women, that he is gay and that he went on the show for notoriety and possible opportunities. Either way he wasted and manipulated this woman and her possible experience
I just commented the same thing before reading this I was wondering if anyone felt the same way SHE IS EFEN HOTTT in every way he has to be gay he wasent even giving her a real kiss more like a grandma kiss, I would of eaten her alive such a waste to have him given that chance to have her and just blow it on some closeted gay dude
@@jamilcollins932 yeah you can find a lot of interviews too he was doing a year ago, he tried to get big on TikTok and kept reaching out to do interviews in various places his cousin also said he went on the show to “try and please his family” so maybe they do not accept his lifestyle which is a shame
I watch Love is Blind just to see your analysis! I’ve learned so much from you and often implement what not to do in my relationship. Keep doing what you’re doing ❤️ We appreciate you!
I found it so strange when she said “he identifies as black” as well but I saw a teacher explain that they are taught to be very careful with titles and their students. I think that was where she was coming from but I don’t think it needs to be used when it comes to race, more so gender roles, sexuality, etc.
Anyone else catch AD ask him how he felt about a white woman (Brit) raising his black kids??? How tacky of her. Why can't the focus be on raising good humans??
Kenneth has a lot of growing to do. He’s immature and unsure of himself. Brittany was too good for him. He’s weak. I found it inappropriate for AD to doubt Brittany’s ability to raise her own children. Two loving parents with good ideals, morals, and ethics is what children need. He was weak if he was swayed so easily. 🙄 Kenneth was my least favorite person on the show paired with my favorite person on the show. Tragic
Inappropriate to discuss the nuances of a white woman raising children of African descent in America? Wow. That marriage pair has one of the highest divorce rates and the children of those unions often have a LOT of trauma. There are enough accounts of the LIVED experiences of biracial kids with white mothers to understand why it’s a valid concern. It’s not something “good values and morals” and “two loving parents” can just negate. Love does NOT conquer all. It’s that naïveté that underpins a lot of failed relationships. She said what he should have been thinking of. If he hadn’t, then that’s a reflection of his own immaturity. Also, the IR aspect of their relationship was really a cop out. He wanted out, like many of the men on the show, but had to find a decent excuse to not be “villainized”.
Sarah Ann and Britney must have enjoyed ad's wedding if she wasn't so focused on other people's relationships she would have noticed her man doesn't want her.
@@soul-deeplevel-up6179 bro genuinely looked like a flip switched after what AD said. I don't think her intentions were bad or to discorage him to date a white woman either and even if they were its still his fault for being easily swayed. When it comes to being black in America there is going to be some hurtles regardless whether you are half white and especially if you are fully black so yeah there were going to be challenges Brittany would had to over come but that would still be off concern if she was black herself (even more so). AD shouldn't have doubted her mother raising abilities when she doesn't even really know her.
Exactly! The woman had to be up at 5 AM and he woke up at her up at 1:30 AM and we’re supposed to think that’s a reasonable time to initiate intimacy??? He chose the time when she wouldn’t want that type of attention on purpose. people do that all the time, where they do things at an inconvenient time or way just so you can say no and later they can say “well at least I tried” that way they skirt blame.
I heard that Brittany and Kenneth broke up when the cameras weren’t there so to avoid the $50k fine they had to re-do their breakup on camera. I mean that scene would maybe be interpreted differently but still all good analysis! I love these videos it’s really helpful even in my relationship! Please keep doing these videos 🥹
Soon as I heard him talk and seen his mannerisms, I realize he was on the wrong show. I don’t know why he came to the show or played with Brittany emotions like that he knew what he was really interested in was not on the other side of those pods 🐸☕️
I’ve been saying since the DR episodes that Kenneth’s energy shifted since the convo in AD. I rewatched that convo right after he broke up with Brittany and it seemed like AD was not only doing most of the talking, she was also putting words in his mouth. I’m playing devil’s advocate here, but he never really got to say what he was concerned with the entire time. All he said was “my boys are gonna be like ‘yo Ken, that’s…’” and AD just said “life’s gonna life.” Hers was an easy assumption to make considering the circumstances but he never got to express what was really concerning him. That’s my take anyway. Honestly? Between her conversations with Kenneth and Sarah Ann, and what she ultimately said about “nothing was gonna stop her from marrying Clay” in the finale, I really don’t like AD anymore. She needs a good (or better) therapist and to learn to mind her business.
I’m sorry, but the way he treated her and dismissed everything she was saying was disgusting. Not to mention he left her crying and upset. That is really nasty of him. He wanted an excuse to break things off and her talking to him about her feelings was his way out?
@Out_on_a_Limb_Life Down low - slang; an expression for a BISEXUAL black man (who "thinks" he's straight - hah!), married or with a girlfriend, having sexual relations with another man.
They were my favorite in the pods. Immediately I was confused and I fell asleep in the part with AD and so I was soooooo confused. And then very disappointed. I also felt if this is the way he handles things - by completely checking out- it will be an issue always with other areas. I’m so sad for Brittany. She is one of the nicest most sane innocent girls I’ve seen on this show so that was disappointing.
Kenneth is gay. I believe. He reminds me so much of an ex who YEARS later admitted to struggling with his sexuality and that’s why he was soooo emotionally distant. Made big promises but never followed through because he just couldn’t see himself long term with a woman.
I totally agree with your assessment that it was the conversation with AD which changed his attitude towards Britt. I also found it disappointing how he then withdrew without explanation and then took the cowardly way out by making it seem like she was the one who lost interest in him. I love your videos. So clear and intelligently produced. ❤
In DR when they were on the boat I got the feeling that he was in his head regarding the racial difference. He acted like someone who was afraid to touch her in fear of some type of backlash. meaning if I touch her she may claim assault later. It’s just the feeling I got from him especially seeing that he never dated outside his race. AD gave him things to think about that he may not have considered prior. Stuff got real and he didn’t know how to communicate his fears effectively
With the rumors about kenneth being on the DL, him being happy about her wanting to wait, says so much now. Hes just glad that wasnt on the table or had to be an obstacle. I did like kenneth in the beginning, but if the rumors are true, i felt that. I could see his disconnect and his desire was to simply look good on tv.
I thought those were more just insults of people trying to attack him and bring down his character, less so of rumors. And I think this video clearly illustrates, he doesn't need the help of rumors. While Steph thoughtfully does not say this outright, I think his actions and behavior point to him being a bad person - which you could not throw a stick at this season and not hit someone who's bad practically - basically all the men on for clout ( minus Johnny) and some women having serious issues with emotional regulation and not being able to self reflect and take accountability for their character and behaviors. I did hear a rumor that Kenneth was in a relationship as well with someone while this was all happening - that he says "babe" when he calls someone after the break up with Brit. Does anyone else hear it?
I think Kenneth put up a front, he’s not the thoughtful, caring, and attentive man he was trying to portray himself to be. From the jump when he was just sitting around on his phone practically ignoring her. I understand he’s a busy guy and his job is time consuming but at the end of the day he lied about who he was and then gas lit her into thinking she didn’t have the connection with him when it was the other way around. God bless her I really truly hope she finds a good man bcuz Kenny ain’t it for her.
If he is really gay, I kind of feel for him (living in an christian, probably gay-unfriendly environment and trying to make himself fit in), although it would be still so unfair for Brittany. If he is not gay, he is just not nice. The way he treated her was bad. Doesn't matter if he didn't find her attractive after seeing her or the AD conversation changed his minds. I would go crazy if i would try to speak with someone who is my partner about my emotions and he is like teflon. Also I think Brittany would have been a great partner for someone else and I am positive she will find someone who values her.
It felt really obvious to me that Kenneth didn't want to be with Britney because she's white. More accurately, he didn't want to have to go through the work of reshaping his life to accommodate dating a white woman. Which is too bad because Brittany seemed like on of the loveliest people this season.
I feel so validated in my view that their relationship was based shared values and trauma, but it never seemed like they liked just talking with each other on day to day stuff.
@@yayag.8990 yet she was fawning over Matthew's weird ass even after he shown his hand, after the show she was going on dates with him, over at his house etc she was giddy about never being with a white man and thought she was going to be the next Lauren from S1, had no problem being fetishized by a white man... the concern isn't genuine and she was just trying to police his choice, it had nothing to do with her. black people have this weird habit of discouraging the opposite gender from IR relationships whilst being open to it themselves, its weird
@19:29 I don't believe his conversation with A.D. had anything to do with his decision. She just brought up a relevant fact: Britney will be raising black children. I think he already knew he may not be able to make it work, when he first saw Brittney. However, unfortunately he opted to sell her a facade and drop the relationship as soon as he detected "a problem". Brittney only tried to have a reasonable conversation and he turned it into an argument and acted like it was something they couldn't come back from. All decisions made were totally on Kenneth amd had nothing to do with any of the women. HE made those choices, and Brittney suffered for it 😑🙄😮💨
Kenneth gave me zesty vibes as soon as he opened his mouth! I just wish he wouldn't waste Brittneys time! She really liked him and was doing everything to connect with him! He was putting up a wall in every direction! I hope he finds himself and builds the courage to come out and stop playing with peoples feelings! Hope Brittany understands she is Good Woman and did nothing wrong!
I agree! And immediately thought the same after watching that scene. The convo between Kenneth and AD caused a shift in his relationship with Brittany. She dodged a bullet by not continuing with someone who is inconsistent, inconsiderate and values other people’s opinions yet identifies with being spiritual.
I’m a fellow therapist and enjoy your content. I had similar feelings about the AD convo. He seemed to completely do a 180 after that. I think Kenneth thinks he’s much more emotionally mature than he actually is. Instead of having a convo with Brittany about his concerns, he went cold and self sabotaged. And I agree with you that he took the easy way out by letting her be the one with the issues. He clearly needs to engage in some healing work or else these issues will continue, whether it’s about race or something else. I think he’s so focused on meeting the other person’s needs and likely has shame about having his own needs that he just shuts down instead of working through them. I think that speaks to you saying how agreeable he was.
Kenneth did her a favor as Brittaney deserved so much better. God is faithful and will provide her with the man she deserves and who will be worthy of her. Kenneth wasn’t even close.
I don’t care if he’s really gay or not, I just want to know why he seemed like a perfect, family-loving man in the pods, then after the party he acted like he didn’t know her. I do think that the convo with AD had some effect on him. I don’t think it was the only thing on his mind, but I don’t think it helped. Then the phones came back and he’s glued to it. Again, I get that he’s a principal and had to get caught up on the teachers, students, programs, etc that comes with running a school, but to say “everyone says I’m overly affectionate” when he’s actually like “🧍🏿♂️😐” the whole time
All these men in this season were a huge disappointment, very much mimicked the reality. There were pretty much all pretending for clout. What a waste of season cause these women went there to find someone serious…I also hate that AD put some doubts in Kenneth head. I don’t think he was interested from day dot, but AD was wrong and I’ve seen this before. Just let people be, if they fail they fail! It is not YOUR place to get involved like that.
I feel like that conversation with AD was so unnecessary. It felt like she was judging him. Literally the show it about falling in love with someone's soul so she was being pretty harsh about the race thing. I am a black woman and I don't even know why she was so serious about "raising black children". My mom never had a special "you're black" conversation with me. It was too much
I am really upset that he tried to make it seem like it was her and IT WAS HIM. He was not interested anymore and he detached and would not admit it. He also didn’t really like her that much and it showed during the break up. His “friend” on the phone is who he wants to date.
When AD said Brittany is gonna be raising “black children” what the hell, those will be HER children first, the children should would have carried for nine months. AD can’t mind her own business 🚮
1) I've noticed that no one is mentioning that these people live in a region of the U.S. that is more racially fueled than other parts. They are in a less tolerant place racially and spiritually so them being interracial in a Carolina would play out much differently than it would in, say, New York City or a place where black/white history is less at play. Either way, as a black woman who's been in an interracial relationship, it wouldn't cross my mind to distance myself from my partner. I'd be distancing myself from the people or places that have a problem with us. 2) It's indisputable that there's gaslighting and part of me is glad to have such a clear example for people to refer to. It brings a massive amount of awareness to what it is. On the other hand, I really wish the woman in this situation didn't go through this. I hope she clearly sees that she wasn't the problem and his behavior wasn't because of her. That said, it feels like she confused race and gender but I think she's onto something unknowingly. She brings up the question of why can't we culturally identify in the same way that we can with gender and sexuality? Physical features seem to be concrete but how you're culturally raised can vary wildly. As a kid, I couldn't relate to my black family and classmates. Quite frankly, I found them all to be threatening since my household was abusive and only my black classmates bullied me. Things I loved like reading and musicals always starred and were written by white people. That was the culture most in my psyche. I made associations from that and developed internalized racism; meaning I didn't want to identify as black because I also didn't want to identify as an enslaved, abusive, bully as my life had taught me black people were supposed to be. I've always known that racial identity could feel like a cage. I didn't want to be caged. If we're willing, we can have conversations about this and why Brittany (?) worded this man's identity as she did.
AD is always fighting for people and talking for people instead of minding her own business and focus the energy on her relationship that was heading into a wreck
I think Britney’s responses to his questions about how she views the challenges and what the future looks like as an interracial couple scared him and rightfully so. Her responses were a lot about herself and what her challenges being a white mom would be. Red flag. Then she had said she dates black men. This is not a self hating black man interested in being fetishized. I think he thought about what his family would think based on these conversations. He wanted a way out and gaslit her to do so.
If I'm not mistaken, I think Brittany had said she had dated black men before? Her way of saying "identifies as a black man" I know is something we're sort of taught clinically (e.g., person with autism, etc). I'm not sure if it's the same for working in education but I wouldn't be surprised. I tried to imagine how it would sound if she had said that he's black and how that could be taken the wrong way too or could have been easier for the producers to edit weird. So I think it is possible she was just being careful with her words for that reason. As far as A.D. talking to Kenneth about raising children, I wonder if perhaps they dated in the pods and that was something that they had discussed. Or maybe the producers just put them up to it? Idk. But as far as Kenneth being distant, I believe Jessica had said in an interview that they had already broken up and had speculated that he had already processed the grief off screen. However, what we do get on screen sounds accurately summarized in this video
Yeah, people are gonna be more PC on camera than they normally are. Like I can forgive a white person for saying African American a bit too much when on camera. The internet is wild. The issue is if they genuinely are too scared to say black lol.
I think Kenneth was feeling unsure before conversation with AD. He is a grown man and I honestly don’t think they really connected at the reveal. I tend to think that when he saw Clay and AD together that solidified his questioning an interracial relationship. I wish he had been able to break with Brittany in a more mature manner.
This topic is really hard for me. On the one hand, I don’t want to tell a black woman (AD) what she should be concerned about around raising black children. However, it’s always people who are not in an interracial marriage or from an interracial marriage that make comments like this, and it feels gatekeepy, out of pocket, and just like a misplaced sense of pity. I (half-Mexican; half-White) was raised by my Mexican birth mother and my half-Black, half-Korean adoptive father. I have 3 siblings (half-Mexican; 1/4 Black; 1/4 Korean). It doesn’t get more interracial than my family, and we’ve done JUST fine. In fact, I think we grew up in a household that truly has pure and unprejudiced (as much as possible) views on skin color, race, nationality. We grew up being able to relate to each other and anyone we met without being hyper-concerned with the colors of our skin (and the differences between us). I don’t need anyone essentially in a roundabout way saying that my parents did wrong by us by deciding to have and raise children together. I’m so grateful for my super-multicultural family and upbringing. TL; DR: Comments like the one AD made make me feel like they think my siblings and I should have never been born. And that’s not a good feeling.
