I am 29 years old. Who has and still is struggling with my racial identity.
I IDENTIFY AS BLACK. My dad is African-American and my mom is Hispanic
. Some people when they look at me, either see a black woman or a
hispanic woman. I am better than I was a year ago and I only expect
to get better in accepting myself as I am. I still wish that I was
seen only as a black woman. But, maybe a year from now that won't
be as big a issue either........
I do not in any way identify with my Hispanic side....Mexicans and other
Latins think I am one of them and they act like I am ashamed of that part
of me, but what they dont understand is that I also am Black and I can't
be something that I am not...meaning I can't be Hispanic; regardless of
how I look if in my soul I am all Black.
