Get a Clue
Today my boss told me that she thought I was Hispanic this whole time and she finally realized I wasn't. I was a little surprised. I mean I knew she thought that when we first met but after working there for six months, seeing how weird my name is, and that I don't speak Spanish, I thought she would have found me more questionable. lol Guess not.

For one thing, I have never thought of myself the way the public sees me. I think I am half Asian or Siberian looking, but I'm sure everyone would think I'm crazy after they read this. But really, people always think THIS girl is Latina?
That's ridiculous actually. I don't know if it's because they really think I look that way or if it's a Texas thing.

I mean I guess I could be Hispanic, but honestly I really don't see it. I know there are different looks to Latinos but I don't think I really fit into any of those. Also, someone really has to be an idiot if they don't think there are loads of people ALL OVER THE GLOBE who have dark hair and tanned/olive skin. Those are not really unique features of Latinos and they don't all look that way. lol

When you live in the US there is so much racial diversity that in many cases you don't know what background a person has. You have to ask them. But some people think they know and they don't want to listen to someone telling them the truth. That's really stupid.

I don't really care what people are thinking of me as I walk down the street or how strangers talk to me in Spanish. What I roll my eyes at is how close minded people are. I don't say it often, but at times I have to tell people I am mixed. They don't know what to say. They give me dirty looks. They think it's impossible that I am something different besides what they were thinking.

I must also mention that I hate it when people complain that "Latino" and "Hispanic" are used incorrectly because these terms are associated with Europe.

 people can be so damned stupid when it comes to 'reading' someone. I am constantly assumed to be a drug addict because I am an artist and work late hours. I don't even smoke weed, it just gets in the way of getting anything done. I remember when I had colored my hair blonde and all these idiots said I looked 'just like Sting" when I didn't remotely look like him. My point is the general public is dumb so try and just dismiss what they think and do your own thing.

 I guess he was never listening to you and was there for one thing only, need to find some one that listens!

 Maybe this is a Texas thing. So weird that people just assume this. I don't even think about things like that, people are pretty much just people.

 Just thank God for the beautiful body he gave you Mariam, and don't fret about the silly ingredients. There is only about a fraction of 1% on this planet that is of one race of genes.

And so what? Really, to measure a person by their genetic credentials. In fact it's a genetic disadvantage to be born into. Besides, we take no credit or blame with the cards we're dealt with. So....

....quit worrying about that crap honey.
