Proud Celt: Neither White Nor Asian

Marian L.
Ireland

I’m Irish with an Asian-sounding surname; suffice to say people are always surprised to see me turn up when they’re expecting someone just a wee bit different! Moving abroad taught me about white privilege, but being Irish, I identify more with the colonized and oppressed. Please don’t label me as white; I’m a proud Celt and ready to fight for my identity!
