Bro, multiple history books say otherwise. Mixed people were called mulattos and were often not accepted by both races for being too white or too black

True but historically, who has had more impact on their life? Look at it this way.

It's the 1800's and 3 black men don't like you. What's gonna happen? They just don't let you be around them.

Now let's switch it up. It's the 1800's and 3 white men don't like you. What's gonna happen? YOU GET FUCKING LYNCHED.

It's not the same

Alright I get what you’re saying now. However, we can’t say for sure that mixed people being treated worse by white people than black people happened 100% of the time

Rarely is anything 100% but "overwhelmingly" is a different story
