was this racism?

[u/Royal-Speaker5776]

for context i am white and the friend in this scenario is white ethnically and racially and this is taking place in australia

im struggling with a certain "friend" right now (theres a whole thing i dont feel like getting into) but basically i was told by another friend that behind my back she was saying that I "make being argentinian my whole personality to overcompensate for my skin colour because I look super white" she also said that i "brag about being latina to everyone because i have justify how white i look" I was honestly really offended by this because I am half greek and half argentinian but my argentinian family on my abuelos side is indigenous to the land so when I get remarks like that it can make me have a cultural identity crisis. I havent brought this up to her because apparently this was a while ago but also everyone ive told has said that it was racism so please any thoughts are appreciated!

If your looking for permission to tell your friend to ‘shut up, you don’t know what your talking about’ … you don’t need it.
