    “When I went to college, I thought about joining one of those Asian student organizations. But I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go ‘all in’ on being Asian. I had to ask myself how integral it was to my identity. I’ve never been very traditional. I grew up in a white town on.. "pic.twitter.com/Z5AjzZqZy3

        People only see your surface, and judge based on that: you're not responsible for their misjudgement. You are who you think you are. Heck with what's outside. I've been subjected to misjudgement all along, but I no longer care. I am who I decide I am, not who my surface decides.

        That depends. Are you going to give “everyone” that kind of power in your life? If you are then I’d say yes, you’d better conform.

        No way. Your identity is not subjective. Of the three ways I would use describe myself, female is not one of them, even when I worked in a predominantly all male workplace. Define yourself or others will.

        "So if its how everyone sees you, shouldn't you see yourself the same way?" I feel we should see each other only as humans. In the last census for race I put Human.
