honestly, i always related more to black people than white people....a lot of the time white people made me uncomfortable...
whether they were nice or mean....i was just awkward for me all the time...
for example, i remember vividly, once i was at like a cookout with my dad...
nice giant, luxurious home...i was playing outside with all the kids...and we came in to get refreshments...
and someones like mom was all tipsy and loud like "OH MY GOD, YOUR SKIN IS SO WONDERFUL!!! DO YOU TAN?"
now, as someone that had been teased for being so light his entire life, i'm looking at her confused like
"no, this is my skin color"
and shes all "OMG, I WOULD KILL TO LOOK LIKE YOU"
im stonefacing her, at this point the entire party has fallen silent and are staring directly at me and her...
im sure she was being sincere, it was just awkward to me...
that being said, my answer = black people.
but it is interesting that you are like the complete opposite to me...
btw, are you light or dark?
I'm more so in between.
My dad's like... really dark; Like Charlie Murphy dark. And my mom has this natural tan.
But you actually get what I'm saying. I never had to relate to any one group when I lived in New York, but in, I was only exposed to black people and my charachter caused me to stand out. Around my mom's family, I can be myself, but I feel as though the rest of society sees me as just a young black man, which iisn't the case.

However when I came home to the bay area all my Asian friends considered me as white.
You gotta gift my dude. You have the opportunity to learn from both cultures. Take the best from each and you'll find yourself.

I hate to break it to you, but society says your black...your just a "Carlton Banks" kind of black.

Not believe we are there yet is what is holding us back
Though I'm very much open to the idea, I'm being honest with myself. Society isn't there yet.
