One Mirror With Many Different Reflections.

“In the end, we all fruit”

Privilege? My job at a course.

Ain't much if you ain't Dutch

I don't speak Spanish, just Russian

Damn Yankees don't go back home

Nobody talks about oppressed Hawaiian Natives.

Color Blind is not the solution

East or west food is best

Shouldn't matter in the casting room

Not Director. This black woman (standing next to me) is.

Ain't Nothin' Wrong Being a Factory Rat.

Italian and Greek but no freak.

I'm white but I'm not basic

I am a human being uniquely made

Black and proud black and flourishing.

Not much different from Northern Ireland

The quiet girl in the back

I am more than just pigment.

With kids, people don't separate us.

Still learning, still struggling, still white

I want to understand and feel

It's time to expect the unexpected.

2004 before we admitted black roots.

Shouting: No Chinese! But,... I'm not.

Hard to Summarize in Six Words

I'm fine, race is your problem.

Being Brown Makes Me Look Hood

Tennerican Asian passes on only Asian

Stuck between two races..fitting neither.

Our inheritance hate, our legacy love

Equal but some are more equal.

It's just the soul's wrapping paper

I am american first, brown second

Stop feeding your own stereotypical identity!

I still hope, I still despair

Mama is Puerto Rican, my father, white

Black? White? Which box do I mark? I'm both

Humans are just like cannabis strains

Jewish white woman wanting different perspective

When Will It End? I'm Tired

My children don’t look like me.

How can I use this privilege?

Completely Out Of Apologies And Patience

I like to think I'm Black

Only white kid in IB Math

I'm white but NOT a cracker

Fight the stereotype don't blame others

Why do you do these things?

I see my privilege and efforts.

I don't know my Native language.

The beaner who served our country.

I'll experience this, hopefully they don't.

Please leave the ladder after ascending

I'm Hispanic, but not a PoC.

They decided that I was black

I can handle spicy food, so?

White supremacy relies on white silence.

The rumors are true, I'm half.

No I'm not an immigrant.

'Hey Indian go back to Mexico!'

It really be like that sometimes

Why Do I need to apologize

I understand English with normal speed

Out of sight, out of mind

Not all of us are Ninja

I hate being called white girl

Chinese Peruvian, 100% Magician

Black Girl Magic is a thing.

Bird Watching: A Metaphor on Race

Being white doesn't equal perfect life

The one with the brown skin.

I'm myself and I'm so happy

All-American Girl: Minority at Work

Don't straighten your hair, baby girl.

I'm surprised you speak so well.

Adopting AA baby started needed conversations

I changed countries, now I'm black

Life is beautiful, remember to smile.

I am proud of my heritage

Pennsylvania should be a southern state.

The Internet Says I Am Racist

If the same, then why judge?

No, I'm not good at math.

I was born broke not rich

All girls sports should be equal

xavier doesnt start with a j

Yes i'm from Deerfield, and yes I love country music.

We from the same religion place.

I like kimchi more than potatoes.
