In Japan everyone says how cute you are but you just want to be accepted by somebody as normal because then maybe you can make actual friends that dont judge yo for looks I want my child to also have a good education to fall back on! Hi

I grew up in London, UK where there is so much diversity my blood wasn't really a huge issue. I've often wondered how different it would have been growing up in Japan. When I visit with my parents I get stared at a lot out of curiosity but when I'm not with them I'm just another gaijin. My cousins only say they're jealous of how pale I am and of course I feel the exact opposite but there's certainly no animosity. Oh and I've been mistaken for Latino, and French, and more usually 'a bit foreign'! I’m also a halvsie and proud of it!

I think I can see why people could have problems with it though, my white friends typically call me asian, while the asian ones typically call me white... Its become a joke, but that could give someone an "I don't belong anywhere" complex. I love it though, have the best of both worlds, and feel like I fit in anywhere (if my Spanish ever gets any better, I could conceivably pass for Latino too, I guess).

We have to live in both race and be the best of both race. Even if we want to change it we can do nothing but accept it. In the midst of a race, we do not belong because we still are half blooded. We do not have a race of our own that we could belong to but we are who we are, half bloods and it would be passed from generations to generations, a repeating history. So where do we really belong? - to the half bloods! Living the best of both worlds and facing every challenge of being a half blood! and the thoughest? to accept being a half blood and be who we really are. BUT If I could be a pure blood, I would marry a pure blood of my race. I have my reasons and I think you know why. It is really hard to be a half blood.
