If you were to identify yourself using a generic category like race, religion, ethnicity, etc.
What would come to mind most quickly?
In other words, what do you feel the strongest affiliation to?
Most people lean towards race/ethnicity.
Some, religion.
I know alot of gay guys who are all about the queer lifestyle and everything is gay this, gay that.
I don't really know where I belong.
I don't feel very "Indian"
I also don't feel very "gay".
I'm not overly concerned with gay issues.
I think I'm more concerned with race issues if anything.
Sometimes I feel more "black" than anything. i know that's weird considering I'm not black.
but my parents are from east Africa and speak Swahili and feel more of a connection to Kenya and Tanzania than India. I don't know.
I would like to identify as an American but, given the social/political climate of our country, I really don't feel like I can.
Does anyone else get confused?
