what am I?


I am not black but I do have Hispanic and black cousins. I have never been asked what I am, because people can tell from the color of my skin that I am white. I am not just white I am also Choctaw. I do not have that much in me, but I  do have a little Choctaw blood in me. I have been mistreated by black girls before when I was in elementary school. I was really shy and quiet so they thought they could take advantage of me.  I did not know about the One Drop Project until I  watched this documentary. I think people should not be ashamed of the color of their skin. I thought it was sad when heard the little girl said she did not want to be black because she does not think she is pretty. I just do not understand why there still is racism and kids getting beat up, because of the color of their skin. I wish the world were different and people would get along no matter what color of their skin is. I am glad people are doing documentaries on how black people feel about their skin color, and the way they are treated because of the color of their skin.
