But You Have Blue Eyes?

Amanda Fisher
Riverside, CA

My dad was 100 percent Italian. My mom is white with a little dash of American Indian. People never ask me about my heritage or my racial background. If I ever add my history to a conversation by saying, “I am Italian” people look at me and always respond with, “But you have blue eyes?” As if that is a stamp that marks my background.
