“What are you?” I’m a girl…

All my life I’ve had to face the question, “What are you?” This always made me uncomfortable, and irritated. Last time I checked I was a human. When I was younger I would try to explain that I was mixed,(black white, native American) but then I got tired of explaining myself and starting to simply tell them “I’m a girl.”
