[name] Ramona
[where you live] Houston, Texas
[siblings]Younger sister and half-brother
[age] 18
[what's it like being mulatto in your eyes] It's insteresting...Well my parents are both West Indian: my mom is afro-bajan and my dad is first generational mulatto(white irish/afro-bajan). Sometimes mexicans think I'm a hispanic from the central/south american region. Usually my black friends will joke around and try to take my "blackness" away saying that I'm not truly black, nationally or ethnically.
[when and where did you first hear the word mulatto?] I'm not sure, most people i know don't use the word mulatto because of the derogatory connotation to it...
[for what it's worth, do you ever really feel like you belong in a certain crowd?] Not really, although i feel more comfortable around blacks, sometimes i just don't relate to the culture. I'm just happy to be me:)
