South Pasadena, CA
don’t live in sp if you’re brown lol -
8/16/2020i grew up in south pas, i’m currently 20. this is not a good place for individual expression. the old white people will stare you down no matter what it is that you’re doing, and the cops will assume you’re not from the city and beat you up (while handcuffed) because of the color of your skin tone. my mother moved us here when i was 4 years old because of the schools, but the schools aren’t as great as they’re made out to be. the teachers are racist and mean, throughout my time as a spusd student, i had multiple teachers/staff tell me i wasn’t going to graduate, that i wasn’t going to amount to anything in life, while the white kids who would interrupt the class became the teacher’s pet. not to mention the students who’s white privilege allows them to say awful racist snd sexist things and get away with it. also the fact that juuling and smoking and sex is so normalized from middle school!! i hated my time at spms and sphs, due to the fact that i never felt like i fit in with the snakey white crowd that is known as south pasadena.
