What can I say about this somewhat conflicted young women, without sounding overly critical?
You are so quick to state " I'm tired of being labeled. I am an American. I'm not as African-American. I'm an American ". But, you go on to "label" yourself by saying you connect with Caucasian, Asian, Black, Indian - that's a lot of labels! Also, did you mean East Indian? If not, then Native Americans do not wish to be called "Indian". Just thought you should know, that is a "label" they dislike. You appear to have no qualms about labeling others
Then to go on to say, "I am an American & that's a colorless person". On what Planet, may I ask? You are somewhat lacking in the kind of education that matters, my dear. And, to say that " I have a nice, interesting grade of hair ". Please don't go there! To imply that my "kinky, tight, curly hair" is not interesting or nice, shows you to be in denial or a hypocrite, or both. Either way, it's sad.
