[QUOTE="McJugga"] I've always been wondering this, what is it?MrGeezer
Yeah it keeps me up at night some times. MrGeezer if you could shed some light on what your ethnicity was, that'd be great.
Seriously though, it's not even a big problem, just a mild annoyance. But it's something that i think a lot of people can't really relate to.
Not even done with malicious intent, for a lot of people there's just a strong incentive to categorize people by obvious traits. And most people you see are obviously white/asian/black/hispanic/etc. But if you happen to be a mildly brown guy with vague general features, you're hard to categorize in such a way. I suppose you would end up looking like just sort of a weird and random combination of who-knows-what. So people see you, can't easily and obviously categorize you, and you get way too many people asking you what you are. You know, so that then they know how to categorize you.
And I'm not even talking about friends or acquaintances. It's not exactly common, but sometimes I'll get random people walking up to me and asking about my ethnicity just because they're curious. I'm talking about people who I've never met.
And it's like, if you can't tell, then it doesn't really matter. And if you haven't ever even met me, then it REALLY doesn't ****ing matter. Who the hell walks up to a random stranger in the mall, and asks about his/her ethnicity? That's a weird ****ing question. What the hell kind of person actually does that?
My friend Brandon is brown coloured. We just call him Browndon.
