I can't be upset that I am type cast due to my complexion, we all are. I am viewed as "white", which is the irony of being mixed because I feel so very full of color and story. I am the multicultural explosion, that is my identity. It has been sense the day I heard Chiori read this. I miss her dearly. I thank you for posting this, I see it was posted not to long ago, I always recall this piece and now I can have it again to read at my will, as well as to my Part Japanese American, Jewish German, Mexican daughter. with love, your cousin Kazumi. and to all the mestizos of the new age.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00123705175899918349noreply@blogger.com
