Now a’ days, when ask you someone (in America) what they “are”, normally the response can seem kind of confusing… for example:
“Oh me? I’m half Asian.”
“Wow, what’s the other half?”
“White.”
“Cool, I’m half Scottish, half German.”
“Awesome.”
Now, this doesn’t seem to confusing to some people, but for me it does. Why? Because they just said that they “are” half Asian- white/half Scottish- German when honestly I feel that they should just stick to one word which is…
Human.
Now, now I get it. We should be proud of our culture and the places our family has come from and stuff, but that’s just what it is… our culture and places our family has come from, in other words, our ethnicity. It’s not who we ARE, since we are HUMAN. Dog’s can be half Asian-White/ half Scottish- German too you know. That’s why sometimes I get confused, a human defining themselves just by there ethnicity doesn’t make sense. If someone asked there ethnicity or background, then we can get the whole “speel” of it, but if it’s just who we are… then I feel human makes sense (Unless you are not human).
So, the next time someone asks you what you ARE. I suggest you ask for a clarification or respond with human, since it’s really the only logical answer.
If you feel you are anything different, please state your breed! =P
