That really, really bugs me.

It's like "are you not proud to be of your own race?"

Many times, where I live, it's the Black people. Not sure why.

A lot of the black kids around here will go around saying stuff like "I'm Black and Asian", and then you ask, "So, which one of your parents is Asian?" and then they'll say something like "Oh, my great grandfather".

Or my great grandfather is Native American.

Or, he's White.

Or he's Hispanic, because I'm 1/4 Puerto Rican!

Seriously, what's the deal? Why do you need to be everything but Black? Why are you lying?

That just bothers me.

Perhaps they feel like there is nothing to be proud of in their race. Maybe. Idk.

If you're great great grandfather is asian, that does not make you a full blooded asian. Seriously.

I didn't say that they were lying about perhaps having mixed ancestry somewhere along the line. The point was, why are they going around speaking japanese and claiming to be japanese if the last japanese person in their family was three generations ago?

I also hate when people ask me why it matters.

I simply said that it was annoying, because I don't understand why someone would want to go around emphasizing on being, say, 2% something else.

what the hell is that?

We just sometimes want to be different from all of the other blacks in our nieghborhood.

I'm black and my garndmother is Indian. so I'm 1/4 indian and 3/4 black. I'm telling the truth but I don't go around flaunting it as if I'm somthing that I'm not.

I'm black but I have a bunch of other stuff from waaaaaaaayyy back, and I tell people about it. Why? Cause i'm proud of everything I am.
Maybe it's the same with the kids in your area...or then again they could just be Tiger Woods.
