I'm having some race identity issues with myself...Please help?

The only thing I can really say is when you get older it will get easier. You should definitely stay accepting and open-minded about other races but if you find yourself surrounded by people that can't accept the fact that we are all just people then you should try finding a new group of people that are as accepting and open as you are to others. A lot of teenagers are afraid of people who are different, whether the difference is color, religion, economic status etc. Some of them will come around when they grow up and others won't. Work on loving yourself more and keep your head up, you sound like a good person and those other kids will be missing out on knowing you if they are that biased about people who are not like them.

I know just what you mean. I've lived in an all-white community since birth, and sometimes I don't know what I should be, b/c who I am doesn't match my ethnicity(the stereo types). anyway, I think you should be yourself. Be you. I mean, if the people can't handle it, then **** them. You'll be something new to them, and maybe they'll find it cool. I get a lot of that crap too, when people say that all black people are a certain way. ugh, it's annoying! Anyway, I hoped I helped at least a little, and you know that there's at least another black girl out there that can somewhat relate with you. XD

It's a mundane thing that some black people view blacks who aren't the stereotypical black person if not ghetto, or doesn't embrace urban life style, hip hop, or doesn't speak ebonics, they view them as some one acting white. I've gotten it a lot my teenage years too I'm biracial. But it's not a bad thing to not sound so typical, or to stand out. Stick to people you can relate to. Don't have self esteem issues over people who probably have issues themselves.

I once had a hispanic boyfriend, and I am part hispanic, but I look white. Anyway, when I got to his house to meet his parents, they asked him in spanish [thinking that I don't speak spanish] and I quote, "Why didn't you get a nice hispanic girlfriend? Instead of that white girl?" Before he could say anything in response, I respond to them in spanish, and I said in spanish, "Because they ran out of hispanics at school, so he HAD to settle for me."

Just wanted to tell you that story to make you feel better about the skin your in. I feel better about my skin color now.

You should have seen their face!! Ha! Priceless! Awesome day!

always be comfortable in your own skin you are as unique as a rain drop and your friends accept you for who you are please continue to ask or say the things you do and as you can see the world is trying to go pass the things and actions that happened before your time as well as mine a thing of the past.and your ability to ask questions, makes others see what you see and seek to change those thoughts. stay your self.

Just continue to do what you love to Shiabeouf (sp?) lover girl. These people do not pay your bills or put food on your table so they should not mean anything to you. If it helps...tell them what I just told you.

"Bch! You don't pay my bills, put food on my table, on my back, or a roof over my head, so stfu." EASY! Of course you don't have to curse at them but you only need to say this once.

dont worry bout it, when you go to college its like that, no one cares

who cares they are probably jealous because many mixed people are HOT!!!

you are who you are don't let criticism get to you :D
