twice this school year, two people i've met have asked me "what are you?" within the first few questions they asked to get to know me. how would you handle this question? i am not tolerant when i hear this question because i think it's very disrespectful to dumb down a person's life, experiences, and existence to what ethnicity they are. inside, when asked this question, i can't help but scream "WHAT THE HELL DOES IT MATTER WHAT I AM????"... but at the same time, i was also talking to two people i felt i wanted to make a good impression on upon meeting (my new roommate and a co-worker i met my first day on the job)... how would you respond if someone you just met asks you this?
