Okay, well, we're using your vocabulary here and I don't know your vocabulary.
And the problem still remains: am I non-white? Or am I white? I could be both and I have been both. White people usually see me and think that I'm white. Non-white people, especially Asians, usually see me and think that I'm Asian. So how am I marked?
People need to belong. I need to belong. I have no home, I have no roots, and that hurts, because it means I'm floating in space, unattached to anything. It may not hurt for everyone but personally I find it extremely miserable to have no group. And that's something that I could quote poli scientists on.
