Guess not. Ask. Accept. Question again.

White people on TV aren't me.

Boy From America's Heartland, Indian American

I hate being called a white boy

You're you. I'm me. We're beautiful!

I am more than a face

Biracial by birth, Black by choice

Drop the guilt, and become aware

Salad topped with melted American nightmare

Ask who not what I am
