I am half Asian and half white. There is a polarization between myself and the Asian community because of the way Asians often feel the need to keep to themselves and how they're often too proud. I chose a side, but in a way, I regret doing so. I love all of my family equally.
You may have to make your own identity if people on one side or another have a hard time relating to you. And I know what this feels like (got judged pretty harshly by my Asian girlfriends when I took this Jewish guy I liked to my middle school prom).
Don't be ashamed of being mixed. At the end of the day, everyone has to struggle with building their identity - white, black, mixed, or in my case Eurasian.
Is it normal that I hate my skin color?
