An Outside Perspective

I was chatting tonight on Omegle, a chat site that connects you to strangers from all over the world. I ended up chatting for quite a while with a gal from the Philippines who was very curious about American life. She asked what my heritage was, and I said that my family was mostly of German and British heritage. She was excited and asked what life was like as a mixed-race person in America. I tried to explain that there’s really not a separate cultural identity for most of us of Western European descent – certainly not like there is for, say, my Philippino-American friend.

She thought seemed awfully discriminatory against the various Western European races, lumping them together like that.

I don’t really have much else to say on the topic, just thought it was an interesting perspective.
