I am so angry right now and I don't understand.

My trigger today was racism, as well as prejudice in general.

What I don't understand is why don't people realize that as individuals, we are building blocks of a whole? We are responsible for our own actions. Why should an action one person commits suddenly become the burden for his or her entire race? Why does society allow to continuously perpetuate stereotypes and the type of insular patriotism/nationalism that keeps people separated from one another?

My entire life is built on the dichotomies of expectation VS realism. I am not a passive female, I have never been treated as someone's princess, I have no strong cultural ties for my mixed blood, I do not identify with larger groups for any certain anything.

I'm not even sure if I'm really making sense.

I am me. I am self. I am whatever I want to be.

I feel like I'm constantly being told to fit into a mold of how I should be. When I try, I am told it is not good enough. I will never belong to a certain stereotype. It makes me angry that I should have to be asked to. It makes me angry that it looks like that some people are only comfortable with putting down one group in order for another group to feel happy, safe, and healthy. I don't understand these things.

I hear you, Friend. IF you fall into a group, it is up to you to define yourself.

It is an opportunity for you to be an individual and not a group think.

Other people will be as they are, but YOU can be at peace with your own self definition.

I am Jewish. People can ask me about it. I am comfortable with it. If people hate me for it and they DO, I think they are fools.

It is not I who has the problem, but they.

They will get theirs one of these days but that is for another Forum

Ugh, yeah. It's terrible stuff. I've been in weird moods like this for the past two days.

It's starting to jar me in really bad ways that I can't ignore it any longer.

Hahahahaha some people think I'm jewish..
The way they ask is almost offensive

Are they trying to insult me by calling me jewish..? I don't understand.

I remember there was this kid and he asked if I was jewish and I just stared at him.. and he's like "don't worry the hebrews are beautiful people..."
Maybe if I was jewish I would have a sarcastic and snappy comeback but I'm usually confused by their look and tone..

I can sorta see the resemblance to Israelis.
