i'm so sick of the bigotry i'm presented with everday. from just going to the gas station and the comments from the indian inside who thinks you're "too white" or the completely unveiled racist comments that i'm getting far too much and have ALWAYS gotten. you think you're not different until people are so apt to point out that you, in fact, are. a

Black people aren't the largest minority, hispanics are. Although I highly doubt that that was the point.
I use to be proud to be European, Polish and Austrian to be exact, but after strenuous self-analysis I discovered that I had become a reactionist. Everday as I went out into the world, it reminded me I was white. You'll be surprised to find that I am a part of one of the most socially neglected minorities of all, poor caucasions. Anyway, being European never meant anything to me in my childhood because who I was was defined by what lived inside of me and not outside. Thus, although I was quite aware of how my environment affected me, I tried very hard to not allow it to define me. It has made me feel a little weird ever since you've become obsessed with yourself being Indian. I mean you were always just Khadija to me. Of course you were Indian but the things that made me like you would have been inside of you no matter what continent your parents came from. I don't mind it that much other than it seems what you're defining youself as sets you apart from me and makes us different. And I always felt I could find myself in you and that made me feel alright.
