I did have a lot of cultural influences, but still not as many as I would have wished-- if I'd had my way, I would have been born in Japan. xDGemma Fitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09190362424074865560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-906571993292629636.post-67352300507976983372015-11-01T13:02:58.184-08:002015-11-01T13:02:58.184-08:00I really like this. I see what you're saying h...I really like this. I see what you're saying here. There's nothing wrong with saying there are different cultures (because there clearly are many different cultures). And there's nothing wrong with celebrating you different nationalities, if you have them. <br /><br />I'm actually a quarter Japanese too. I didn't have as much culture influence as you did. Probably because we don't live close to my grandparents, also my grandmother doesn't' like to cook. But I like exploring the culture sometimes myself. :) a.n.g.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03667996517318905980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-906571993292629636.post-23638063576474926772015-10-30T13:30:19.533-07:002015-10-30T13:30:19.533-07:00That's so cool!

Thanks for pointing that out. :) And I'm going to have to look a bit more into the word "race" to find out what it really means. :P<br /><br />Thanks for commenting!Gemma Fitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09190362424074865560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-906571993292629636.post-28379469295506173882015-10-29T14:26:13.515-07:002015-10-29T14:26:13.515-07:00I'm half Filipino and I agree with this ;)

I thi...I see both your point and your friend's. I think what he's getting at is the idea that there's some fundamental, non-cultural difference between a "white" person and a "black" person lends itself to the idea that one or more of those groups is better than others by dint of being "white" or "black" or whatever.<br /><br />... which we all disagree with. We seem to take it as given and true that all people are created equal.<br /><br />But as someone whose family history is a melting pot of Amerindian and European people groups, I agree it's good to celebrate your diversity. I think the disconnect is what definition each of us uses for the word "race". It seems to me that your concept of it, in this post at least, is largely equivalent to ethnicity or culture.<br /><br />Maybe all of these categories are just too blurred to divide.
