delmer: “laborer’? that’s pretty generic! Forms sure know how to equalize everyone, put us in our little boxes.

I had my birth certificate out when I got my passport. My dad was listed as ‘laborer,’ which I felt didn’t adequately describe him at all.

UT: I like your comment color, culture and race! Yes, they keep us interested in each other, these differences. I try to appreciate the differences as opposed to allowing them to separate me from others.

Better to blog than to flog, huh?

Indeed, we are all human. Life can throw blows at you and you either deal with them or ignore them. I’ve learned to use them as blogging material.

Color, Culture, Race: It’s all just something to keep us separate/different. At the same time, it can be what keeps us interested in learning about each other and growing together as a whole, in an ideal world.

Ricardo: white, huh? They may not have broken down the races more when you were born! I vaguely recall that it’s “White or Hispanic.”

I usually don’t fill in race when asked. Usually this is an optional question on forms. Of course people can guess at my race based on my last name. The would actually be wrong unless they stuck with “Asian”

I recall your writing that your Dad wanted you to be a really “Latin” type of man. I don’t feel pressure to be some proper Chinese woman but I probably fit most of the modern characteristics. Personally I think I am who I am but people always want to label others. From your latest series about Why Men Are Men, I know that women expect you to be what they think of as a “man.”
