I’m not white, but I’m white.

I am from Alaska and have a lot of Alaskan native family members. Growing up, I did not think of myself as white. My family members told me that I was Athabaskan or Alaskan Native, but not white. When I moved to Missouri at the age of 8 I was told that I was, in fact, white. Either way, it makes no difference.
