Where did I said culture, not race, dictates who you're friends with?

I said "relate to".

I don't know what else you're going on about since it doesn't seem to have anything to do with what I said.

Are you going to seriously try and tell me that you don't relate to people based on their culture? You relate to them because of their race?

But race is a part of culture.

Better put, different races have their own unique culture.

Wrong. Different cultures comes from location and tradition....not race.

Why do people put such importance on race? It means absolutely nothing.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="biggerdjam"] You don't know me, my real family or my white family, yet you basically telling me that my 7 brothers who had no idea about me, are not my family? and my Grandparents? and my Aunts? uncle? Cousins? I go stay with my real family often since i found them recently and they come over here a lot to.biggerdjam
Actually you seem like a jerk judging from your two threads on this....you have no appreciate for who raised because they aren't the same race as you......that's racist dude.

I DO appreciate what they have done for me i was just SAYING i'm not with my own people, heritage , roots etc. And if i was being racist......there are more Fuc'd up things in this world right now. This whole time growing up, my real family were so close and had no idea about me(accept my birth mom and dad who put me up). It is not your or my white families authority to tell me that my real family who had no idea about me(all my Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents, brothers, sisters, cousins etc) are not my family simple bc they didn't know about me... I didn't choose to start my life like this...and even if i did, lets say having the choice of growing up with your REAL vietnamese family or white family, i would not have chose the white family simply because of a better life style. Sort of like saying you wish you would have grew up with the Kardashians instead of growing up with your own family bc they have more money and get attention....just messed up imo. Also i REALLY hate it when people who ARE NOT adopted tell people who ARE adopted, let alone an interracial adoptee, tell them how they should view things and think...i really don't want to be rude, but it is whatever.

"I just want some advice on how to accept this better and not care about how i was raised..." This was how you ended the first post in the thread. You were specifically asking for advice. So stop complaining when people give it to you. And the only way you're going to accept it better is to change how you view it. As I mentioned in my response, you need to focus on the positive things rather than the negative.

Well you sure sound like a whiny white liberal. If this is the biggest problem in your life at the moment I think you have it good.

Agreed. He should be happy that he got to grow up in a middle class American family instead of a poor family in Vietnam. TC needs to realize that many Americans don't live by their roots. I'm a mix of Scandinavian and French, yet I'm not depressed because I don't practice those cultures or speak the languages. Most whites and many Asians simply speak English and live in the mainstream culture. There's nothing wrong with that at all. I can understand that TC is having somewhat of an identity crisis here, but there are bigger things to worry about in life.

You should be! Scandinavian culture is awesome. :D

Yea very. :)

Also, OP, it's not bad at all. Your race is not your culture. Throw the whole race factor out of the equation, it means nothing. There's nothing wrong with feeling a sense of belong to a culture no matter what you look like.

Find your roots. I wouldn't know exactly how to go about this but I'm sure there are ways.
