A divisive dividing line against commonality...

I am not what you assume

Not chosen but should be loved.

You look pale, are you sick?

I live life just like you

What do you mean White Latino?

Listen and Learn More, Talk less.

In the same place, different reason

I don't know what I am.

Not Pakistani enough, not American enough

Hope, Pray, Love, Nourish in Life.

Race constructed to keep us separated

Beauty Inside Shines through the Outside

They glare at my bi-racial son.

I'm Asian, yet not a threat

Don't fake equality for your convenience.

I am not my skin color

Be A Voice For Other People

Abuse, Poverty, Mental Illness, but Race?

White people, leave my culture alone.

Born with chains. That never disappears.

Happy Turkish girl that celebrates Thanksgiving

You need to get a tan

The luxury of not considering race.

I am who I am. No apologies.

You're Mexican, but not really

Come on, pick a side already.

Don't allow ignorance to excuse racism

Wait, so what are you exactly?

Yes, your uncle is still bad.

Ignored black man, looking for boss.

My skin is white, not evil

Ignorance is not bliss with racism.

How Can I make a Change?

You're Mexican with a Black Name?

No way, Miss, you're not white!

I don't fit in your boxes.

You're entitled to opinion, not hatred

Learn from History, Change the Future

Not all cops are bad cops

I am not racist.

Listen to others besides your own

Southern heritage is a convenient copout.

Let's go. She doesn't speak English.

Am I from here or there?

Encourage education and tolerance for everyone

You're lucky you look ambiguously minority.

Chicana Falsa I Am Not!

I fight against my inner fears.

Vision failed. Opportunity passed. Never again.

The Pinoy Debate: Asian? Pacific Islander?

I look white & I'm not racist.

Grandpa, ‘white’, sits @ back of bus

Open Conversations about race always matter

You're foreign. Not American. No way.

Everyone hates the mixed race child.

Teach them young to be one

Noir, Schwartze, Negredo - I Am Black

Bigotry lives on; so does hope.

A white girl with a unique heritage

I am myself, not your expectations

Colombian? Where is your accent?

Gay doesn't make me less Black

Grandmother ate in kitchen with housekeeper

It is not a heritage thing

Not enough people really do care

Thought we were a melting pot

Be the good in the world

An excuse to separate us based on fear

Searching wounds heals? Healing hardly begun.

You belong and so do I

We must stand together as one

Racism runs light, medium, and dark

Shame is a source of power

Don't speak Spanish, still Mexican

Hard working parents means I'm spoiled?

My actions can shape others perceptions

One people in heart and mind.

My skin isn’t black, it’s rebellion.

I'm More than, Less than Accepted

Girl! You sounding extra white today!

No, I do not know karate.

My life's as precious as yours

The color that matters runs red

I will always just be Human!

I don't know where to begin.

I don't see you as Muslim.

Privileged, What exactly does that MEAN?!?

Yes, that is my real name.
