Well here goes…Im a quarter Iranian, a quarter Pakistani and 1/2 Ugandan who is born and brought up in England…
There are a lot of benefits to being mixed…im not part of a rigid culture and you naturally end up open minded because of diversity of cultures within yourself…i dont really consider myself to have a specific culture…i tend to borrow from a lot of cultures…a lot of cultures along with my own…your nationality and things to do with them arent really issues…
However sometimes you feel like you dont feel part of a specific community which can sometimes be a ncie thing i suppose…i just dont have the culture or the look to fit into any of my cultures…im not paki enough, persian enough or african enough…i am forever an outsider in all my groups…and even when a lot of my culture is influenced predominantly from where im living i am still an outsider…
My Paki, Persian and African mates also have strong cultural bonds based a lot on where they are from and find themselves taking pride in that…iv never celebrated an independence day before…iv never really felt like i belong to a culture which in some ways is cool but in a lot of ways i wish it was simple and i could just slide into a group…
Dunno if this makes any sense or if there are any mixed people who can relate…

u shud b proud of ure mix, makes u more interesting andmore culturally rich, BUt can see whr ure cuming from as far as not feeling as though to fullt belong to each of the cultures u originate 4rm. Thats sum mix u got thr, bet u ure really hot :jano:
