im black and mexican and people have a hard time pointing out my race. many times ive gotten "arab" or "middle eastern" because my nose is prominent but my skin is darker.

when people ask "what are you?" im really offended. im human i say. if people ask "what ethnicity or race are you?" im not so offended. but theres really something offense about asking "WHAT ARE YOU?". thats really offense to me. like "what"? WHAT AM I? IM HUMAN.

i also get asked if im native american a lot. its the mexican nose and dark skin i have. i think.

my 23andme profile said i had a lot of native american in me because of the mexican and a lot of european. but to keep it simple i say "black and mexican" or "african american and mexican". otherwise i say "human". i get stared at a lot too. people cant seem to figure it out and they dont like that they cant. i can tell. some people say they dont like that they cant tell either.
