Asian!

*Linsay Price is so pretty~ and Asian**
I think that I've been identifying more and more with being Asian. And its interesting that I've never felt like I was Asian until I came here. It was weird to be classified as Asian when my whole life I've been considered white.

Its also interesting that in Japan, although race was a big issue, it wasn't really something that was so in your face. Because most of the population is pure Japanese, there is a lot of under laying discrimination. But in America, its so in your face. EVery one is different here and people are classified in different categories. And the whole thing about racism is that it affects so many people. In Japan, you could make fun of Mexicans because you would never see any or didnt know any. Here, its different. In Japan, race is an idea. In America its real.

So Im proud to be a minority. I like my Asian self, and I like my white self. Im not one or the other, I'm just both.

I've been watching way too much Tyra.
