Even family wise this applies. Although the main reason is because my mom’s side of the family is spread out across the US...
Most of the time when I mention extended family, I’m referring to my dad’s side. I usually end up hanging out with them; they live nearby, and it’s just more convenient.
But because of that, I don’t really know much about my black relatives. My mummum is the one person I have from my mom’s side who’s a reasonable driving distance.
I never really got to meet...
