Anjali,

Growing up I feel like I only belong to my Sri Lankan culture and heritage because I dismiss the white part of myself. I am half Sri Lankan and half white, but I look tan. I wish I was darker. Some say I look white, but when I look at myself I can see I am not. When I look at my personality I know I am not white. I could pass for North Indian and Hispanic but I always have to prove to people what my nationality actually is. I am not seen as Sri Lankan or Asian until I tell people I am.
