Where I live is in my own skin. I am of mixed genetic heritage and I was raised substantially by Koreans and Hispanics (people not of either “race” that I, myself, represent) in two highly diverse regions of the United States: Northern Virginia and New York City.
Ideology (in this case, the preoccupation with race) matters. Race doesn’t matter.
I’m sorry to know that you have been exposed to racism. So have I. That doesn’t change the fact that race is the nonsensical preoccupation of punks and losers.
noble gesture on your part and since you are mixed race I can see why it suits you to feel that way and wish for it...hell..we all do...racial and ethnic harmony...but it's never really been about that you know
i have found that many peoples and cultures are race defined physiologically with distinguishing characteristics both good and bad
to deny that would be to ignore the empirical evidence I've witnessed over a lifetime just to suit noble cliches
many generalizations about the different groups under the broad flag of the human species are based in truth...what we do as decent folks is to try to always recognize the exception
this obsession with parity has really always been nothing more than an excuse to denigrate what we used to call western civilization which if you are part Hispanic includes you...Spain was almost as pivotal as Britain in the advancement of latter western culture...my oldest daughters are half latino..BZ
I am descended from Pochahontas and my wife is around 1/16th Cherokee-Creek but neither of us dwell on that as a anti-Caucasianism
on a side note....the art work of American Indians is almost indistinguishable from Mongolians today...small wonder I guess...my cousin married a Mongolian lass...she's tall too..oddly...great hair
