Nicole Rice,
San Juan Capistrano, CA.
I am more than just ‘white’ even though everyone looks at me and says that is all I am. I have a lot more in me than just white, but no one will ever know unless they ask. I have even received the nickname ‘white rice’ because of my last name and skin color. But the truth be known is my great grandmother from my father’s side is pure cherokee indian and my biological mother is 100% Jewish, my heritage comes from the trail of tears and the holocaust. This is my heritage and yet I am still looked at from society as plain white rice.
