The Only BLACK Kalmyks

def genuine

but i just dont think ppl are generally ready to hear "im mixed/light skin and here's my struggle  :'(  " stories yet
without side eyeing them or laughing

or even thinking someone is bringing up the topic just to be cute and elevate themselves in some way.
unfortunately

people gotta get out of the mindset of thinking only of the privilege that comes with having a certain aesthetic in the states
but to be fair, i can imagine that's hard to do when thandie is specifically crying about her privileges.

"omg took ur men and it broke my heart!"
"got so many movie roles and success, i cried for so many nights about it!  :'( "

sssdsdsdsdsdsdsd
i can totally understand why people have a hard time digesting it. the thought process generally is - what is there to cry about?

but she's def genuine and deserves to be heard. i sense a real struggle.

Significant Discovery: First known Black American family of Kalmyk descent

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated that only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants exist worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.
