I am Mexican-American, but I feel African American, maybe because I grew up in a black neighborhood in Chicago, but they are the only people I can relate to....
Do you have this problem???

lol - Im Mexican American too. I grew up Mexican style and look white. My younger friends in elementary know I'm half, but in high school everyone thought I was white acting Mexican. "If you only knew" I thought. So It's not that I feel weird, it's everyone else that's confused. Even now as an adult.

no i don't but i can completely understand your problem though. and yes it is possible. my friend is mexican-american but she moved and had to go to a school with mostly african americans, and now they're pretty much her family. even though race has nothing to do with it.

No, but people have told me I "act white." It offends me when people say that. I'm black and I'm proud. Just because I am intelligent and don't use slang words all the time, doesn't mean I'm trying to act like a white person.

I don't have that problem myself no.
However, Maya Angelou said she dreamed of being white. Author of "I know why the caged bird sings." (Book.)
So, I am certain you are not alone in the feeling. :}
If it bothers you...you could talk to someone about it. I don't think it should though. It just means you are a more "rounded" human-being.

Yes, its possible to feel that way. Is it good or bad? I say its bad, the feelings will confuse you.
Someone may say "but wait isnt it a bless after all you can share both cultures and be a richer individual lol". Nah, it'll only mess you up.

Maybe you were black in a past life.

Not really, dude, don't judge others just because of their skin. It matters what blood you are from what blood your ancestors shed to let others in your family live. Take pride in that.

People may judge but ultimately you know who you are
