7. I am American, born and raised. Lived in California all my life.

When people ask me where I am from I say, The United States, they ask again, "no where are you from?" I say, California, "No, I mean from originally?"

That is why I am Mexican-American. People (White people) who look at me, assume I am not American.

Color blindness is not a virtue in my opinion. I would love to be seen as merely "American" but that is not up to me.
