This is actually a rant I had a while back but decided to document it. This is about being multiracial in the society I live in. Throughout my whole life I have always had to choose where I belong in the society. I was never accepted for being Japanese and white and was always made to feel like I had to choose. It is one of the hardest struggles that I have had to face, esp this past semester. Even when I established to others that I AM BOTH and I EMBRACE BOTH my closes friends and even random strangers still don't understand that. People constantly make me feel like I am unacceptable in this society.

What gets me the most and bugs me the most is that our society is filled with multiracial individuals, but the way our society is constructed we are invisible. Multiracial people are never seen as multiracial, but just as "Asian, Black, White, ETC!" No wonder multiracial people feel this way.

People do not know what it is like for multiracial people. I get so angry with everything, and I am very thankful that I have Carl here with me because he understands. I guess this is why I feel the need to fight and help people like me who feel this way in the society.

There are many places on campus and with friends that I do not feel I belong. But I know where I will ALWAYS belong. With him. And I continue to thank him everyday, even if he does not know it.
