So basically, my mom is mulado, my dad is Cambodian. My grandma is white, and my grandpa is African American, on my moms side. My great grand parents on my mothers side are French and Portuguese. Ok, so now I know it's a lot to take in, but I wanted to get in depth, just in case you had any questions.
And why do I undergo identity crisis' you ask? Simple. Because i'm of so many ethnicities it's overwhelming, especially living in Lowell where it's extremely diverse. It's even more frustrating when I don't get accepted by my own people. My white family sees me as colored, my asian family sees me as black, and my black family... well yeah I don't know them. But I do know that in the black community i'm seen as asian.
Who am I then? To society i'm everything else. I can say i'm multicultural but what is that? Sometimes I feel like I don't even fit in with my own. Sometimes I feel like i'm more Cambodian than anything. It's just hard to find out what my TRUE culture is. But I guess this is what makes me unique. I try to find the positive sides about being multiracial. I get to experience different cultures and foods. It's cool. I love being a mystery to others. I love my look, and I love all of my family. But I still go through those times where I have an
Indentiy crisis.

When you are 100% white in this country you don't give identity a thought. It is only when you are non-white or multicultural that it becomes an issue. It sounds like you are proud of who you are and that is really important.
ReplyDeleteConsidering you're so diverse, people should actually be more racially blind towards you. I personally think you should fit in any group because you really are a part of them all.
ReplyDeleteI think it's cool that you're so diverse, you should be proud girl.
ReplyDeleteidentity dont matter because you cool lol.
ReplyDeleteJust say you're blasian (black and asian) for those who don't know.
ReplyDeleteI think you are the most diverse person I know. I am not diverse at all, I am 100% Indian.
ReplyDeleteYour brother use to refer to himself as "blackbodian" in seventh grade. And I think being racially diverse is cool, and if your family doesn't like you because of that, then they're douches.
