I was born white in 1975. I was born into a bi-racial family and married into a bi-racial marriage. In my world it was a given that I celebrate other cultures and hate my own, obviously I was bred from the evil white man.... no matter that my parents were hippies and my father so passionate about equality among races he wrote a book about it. There were hundreds of times during my youth that I was the only white person in the room, I have experienced racism from mild to extreme. All from these cultures I was taught to worship, while hating my own. Well fuck that racist bullshit. Some of the most racist people I've ever met were from cultures other than "white" and *hated* me for the color of my skin.
