People think that I'm white, or assume that I am white by the color of my skin, even though I am not. Is it good to base someone only by the color of their pigmentation?
I am multi cultural, My mother is Black Native American, Irish and English and my father is Puerto Rican and Cuban.

To answer nomadder, I have no problem with white people, it's just that I don't consider myself just one nationality, I'm multi-cultural. It just gets kind of tiring explaining to people what I am and what I'm not, over and over.
If this were an ideal world, I would just say that people should base me on how I treat them, but it's not. People go first on looks, then preside from there.

There are so many different races now a days that people can't keep up so yes it is normal for people to be based on color. Most people assume I am mexican and My mother is white and my dad is black. Just correct them when they make that mistake.

Actually the exact same thing happened to me, some one thought I was Indian another thought I was Mexican and Another thought I was Guyanese. In fact I'm not even from any of those countries, I'm from the Mediterranean area. It is not fair at all, people should not judge other people based on their skin.

What is the matter with being white. If you don't care about color then you wouldn't divide yourself into 4 or 5 different ones.

The beauty of behaviour is much deeper and long lasting than the beauty of the looks and nationality. The beauty of behaviour keeps on getting better and better whereas the beauty of looks and nationality wears off soon.

You sound HOT!!!!!!! People from mixed races & from different ethnic backgrounds are usually great looking and very exotic. Enjoy the mixture that you have been given.

We are all hung up on colors,,,,,,I think you can tell a lot about a person by the way they speak, and their code of dress and the way they control their bodies, like stance and charm,
