Hmm, I guess I usually identify myself by almost everything of the above, except religious beliefs. Remember that research project (well, personal research) that we did in high school? I think you may have actually done a paper as well, but it seems that almost every religion seems to uphold the same principles. Every religion is riddled with hypocrates, and those who are saintly simultaneously.
I wish I could just identify myself generally as a child of earth. However, it's not so easy. We're fit into little molds that are race, gender, heritage, geographical location, etc. It's always been a difficult answer to give, even though we give such answers so easily. What's Bennett, for example? Neither white, nor black, rich or poor, uneducated, nor overly educated. He rarely defines himself by a particular heritage.
Same with Tej. Tej doesn't tout being 'Indian American,' rather, just 'American.' I, on the other hand, feel misplaced.
