I bet no one would guess I was 1/2 Filipino, 1/2 Russian... Obviously, I don't fit in in either scenario... Haha. Someone asked me today if I was mexican, one woman thought I was Portuguese, and I even was asked by a best friend, whom I'd known for over 8 years if was mixed (as in half black, half white)... I realize, I really don't give a hard stake claim on what 'nationality' I am. I'm technically "American", right? To be completely honest, It drives me insane. The other day, I needed to get fingerprinted and a woman gave assumption that I was solely Caucasian (To which I hyphenated). In the end, I suppose you could say...I hate labels, and I mean this in the least anarchistic way.
