The Race Card Project

I’m Malaysian and some people classify me as other other races. It’s just silly. Just because I don’t look or act like a Malay or Chinese. There’s even a race column on my ID. It’s stated ‘Chinese’. Anybody had something like this? Plus I don’t get it why people are still racist nowadays.

I HATE the term African-American. I don’t hold citizenship to any country on the African continent so why do people feel the need to call me that. I’m the descendent of people who were forcible sold and brought to the country, raped, beaten, and denied personhood and their rights. They slaved and worked to help build a country that saw them as property and third class citizens. With blood like that running through my veins, I refuse to be called “African-American”. Through their struggles, America became my birthright and I fully intend to claim it…ALL 100% of it. I’m an American who happens to be black NOT an African-American.
