EPISODE 76 - Weirdos, Stalkers, and Confrontation: The Mixed Experience




Mixed Chicks Chat show

Summary: A guest and frequent listener, Ehav Ever, writes: being mixed, and vocal about it in a public way sometimes opens one up to weird people who stalk or seem to be confrontational. It is like there are people who insist that their view of reality is universal law, and they have to find someone to try and confront. There is also the element of people who seem to not be able to leave people alone once there is a disagreement. It is like those people who want to try and post comments on a blog they don't agree with even though their comments are getting deleted. I have run into this when I have come across Hebrew Israelites. A good number of them seem to want to be confrontational with me because of my background and because I have no chip on my shoulder like they do. I have also met some who seem to want to think that Jews like myself think we are better than them since we are legally Jewish and most of them are not. I have also had friends with mixed backgrounds who felt like there were people who hounded them because of how they chose to identify themselves. On some level some of this has been touched on in other episodes, but it needs its own treatment since it often causes people to either have to explain or defend themselves against people who they don't owe the attention.
