Re: Possibly triggery stuff - adding the question in the second comment

I'm personally not triggered. But it's maybe a bit of a layered reaction. On one level, I'm frustrated because, hey! You should be happy to be who you are! Black, white, whatever!

On the other hand, I'm like, why? (complete with side eye)

To be fair, I've had my share of identity issues, but it was never I wish I wasn't "x", it was more, I wish I was "Y"--that is to say in addition to my current cultural heritage, i would wish I could also have "Y" heritage, thus not negating my "x"ness. Although that was something I felt because I didn't feel connected with my own culture. I've come to terms with my culture and myself and still learning more.

I figure if I'm being cynical, I can be "oh, please, you just want to be "exotic" or "know the *struggle*" or whatever will make you feel more special. However, I figure people just don't feel satisfied or connected to their own culture/history, so in the end I just feel for the person and encourage them to embrace their history.
