I am a 22/m white. I was an army brat and lived everywhere with all races. I really don't see race unlike 90% of the world. I have this issue I've been struggling with for a long time. Since 13 I have fit in better and felt more comfortable around black people and in urban culture (I have a fade, diamonds in my ears, wear jordans and tims, only listen to r&b and rap) than in "white" culture. I am just trying to be myself and I feel best this way, but I don't know why. I've tried to be preppy and it didn't feel right. I'm struggling with this because some ppl want me to have this image of being this all american kid and it just isn't me. I am graduating college with my bachelor's in may and am gonna be a juve delinq counselor. My mentors and colleagues don't judge me (as far as I can tell), but I can tell there's issues with how I am. I don't know if I should jus conform, look and act their way, or to jus be me. Why am I this way and what do you think?
