Don't matter if you're... Hey gay white girl,
Interesting to hear you address my previous question about culture obliquely in this entry. Still curious about how your heritage has formed you--for example, when you say you don't identify as white, how does that change your outlook on things? As a white male, oppressor extreme, (Jewish, but therefore only an invisible minority, a plainclothes ethnic) I remember when I was in Taiwan, and had my white status thrust in my face on a constant basis. I was a visitor in their country, and they were hell-bent on treating me like a guest. It was a little embarrassing. I certainly didn't feel privileged or rich. I occasionally had conversations about my discomfort; the Taiwanese were surprised: don't you treat guests in a special way? It took me a few moments to realize that in Canada, it's impossible to tell the "guests" from the third- or fourth-generation Canadians.
And as for the nose-ring, let me know about the verdict. It's always good to know the gender-preferences of your promised one. ; )
