Well, its true I don't care if you ramble. But not true that I don't care about your entries :)
I tend to feel slightly awkward about subjects like this: I don't really have a say about identity issues like these.
The best that I can say, and it isn't much, is: Your identity is your own. You have every right to say who you are or aren't. If other people want to put you into little boxes, thats their problem.
And forgetting your heritage? With your folks? Seems unlikely to me, but I could be wrong =/
Oh well. I probably didn't make any sense, but love you, little yoda, don't let things get you down.
I think that when you enter your thirties you'll be who you want to be whether it involves being a magpie or not.... and you care a lot and are proud to be korean and an asian american.... live up to that... now I'm not saying that you can't date who you want but I do understand where your parents are coming from with "date within your own kind." My parents as you know want me to date a nice jewish girl.... which isn't easy since we live in bumblefuck but anyway.... what I'm saying is that basically live your life in college now and wait until your thirty to think about your thirties... ok???
We all were at one time at a different place, save the Native Americans. Like my mom's family came here from Italy and I'm sure the family has changed greatly from the people's culture in Italy and even the one they had when they came here, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the culture is becoming buried and isn't appreciated. It'll always be there, we are evolving and adapting to our environments, and so you shouldn't feel like you're falling as the truth is you're rising.
And even the Native Americans came here from over the land bridge by Alaska. Or they got here from someplace else. Depending on which archaeologists you believe. So technically, you could argue that the only people who really didn't move from someplace else are people from Africa. /ends annoying nitpicking whining
That aside, Jen has probably made the most sensible post yet. I just couldn't handle the competition and had to nitpick, lol.
