Today, at least O’Malley didn’t say the N-word. But we talked about what is legally considered ‘white’ and why it’s not related to skin tone. I think about this a lot being mixed race. I’m half Korean, and I look pretty white. I don’t really consider myself ‘white’ because culturally, I grew up really involved with Korean traditions and culture and grew up in a neighborhood with a lot of Korean neighbors so I was constantly surrounded by other people that I related to. My dad is the white parent, and he isn’t a part of my life. I am sure most people would consider me ‘white’ because of the way I look, but I don’t know. I don’t think that I’d legally be considered white. It’s a messy area.
