HeatherI'm from California. I am so glad I found this website. I struggle every day wondering what race I am and trying to find my identity. What makes it even worse is there are many blanks in my heritage, where it is not known what they were, so I feel even more lost. The heritage that I have been told, discluding the ones I do not know are white, native american, arabic, and italian. I have been asked several times, What race are you? and I am never sure what to tell them. I've began to think well maybe I should say I don't know or I have no race. Sometimes I don't feel that I have enough blood of any kind to identify myself as a peticular race and even if I did, I would be denying my other heritage. My problem is not being mistaken for what I'm not, but wonering what racial group I am, but truly. Our society views racial groups as so important, but what about the people that don't belong to just one. It is hard to truly be accepted by any of them. I don't feel white enough for whites, native american enough for native americans, etc..etc.., and what about the blanks in my heritage? I will never truly be able to identify that. Being multi-racial is hard, and I don't think anyone really knows unless they are born with it. I can say one positive thing is that we are all able to truly percieve the wrongness of racial discrimination and society saying that we must be a part of a particular racial group. I would love to talk with someone about this.
