In my view, no one can tell you who you are. You have to discover that? Lately I have been trying to keep positive and happy. I just finished a good 3 solid semesters, of college and I am brain drained! I’m not happy with my name. 1st off, I can’t pronounce it w/o feeling embarrassed. 2nd, it doesn’t make any sense, its B.S. to me! I want a name which defines me! My current name doesn’t!

I think that any American should change their name if they want to. My whole purpose of a name change, is to find inner peace and get closer to the real me! I am not my ethnicity, and I hate when people ask me about it. Why would I make friends with every French person, because I’m French also?! I think ethnic people take this way too damn seriously!

In my view, Asians and Pacific Islanders blame whites for prejudice, but they won’t admit to their own! They especially have a problem with Americans, which are Asian/Pacific Islander. Why? Because these people are from a free country, and exist in a Western type culture. America is for the free, and if you love being an American than more power to you! But to most ethnics, it will always be a white man’s land.

Sadly, this philosophy turns into hate for whites, Westerners, Caucasians and Americans everywhere. All Americans are of the same nationality. This runs into a problem for me too. My name means several things in many ethnic cultures. I hate when people ask me if I’m Pacific Islander or Hindu? Why? Because of a last name, or they want to see me as something I’m not.

I’m not brown skinned, I’m beige and that isn’t even brown in the slightest. It’s pastel.

At college this person once asked me flat is out if I was Tongan or Samoan? She said it was because; many Polynesians were trying to figure out if I was? 1st off bitch, thanks for giving me two options to pick from!!! What hinted that I was even a Polynesian in the 1st place? This bitch, just confirmed to me, that some people only care about ethnicity and not that a person is a human being.

I’m Caucasian with a strange name. I can’t wait to get my name changed! This name change will help define me more as my own person. I am not this current name…
