"What race are you?" It's an extremely insidious, loaded question usually asked by someone who believes race is a biological reality. Things change however I answer this question, but nowadays my attitude toward the asker is what changes the fastest.

    People ask me that sometimes. Because I have a unique look that people can't quite pinpoint. They think Italy or Greece or Latina or one person thought I was Chinese ๐Ÿ™„

    But I'm 50% German, 25% Irish, 12.5% Spain, and 12.5% Navajo.

    The Navajo olive complexion is strong, with a German big nose, and fiery Irish personality & stoic pragmatic blunt German demeanor.
