[quote=Anonymous]I struggle with this. I am an Arab -- mother/family born in Syria, father/family born in Iraq. Both families Muslim. I check off the "white" or "caucasian" box and was always told I should do so by my parents who do the same (and indeed the census does consider us white). I look white in terms of skin color, though I have Arab features. My brother could pass for black, and I have cousins with blonde hair and blue eyes. I do struggle with it now, given the political climate. Does half of America consider me white? I highly doubt it. Should I consider myself white? I think I am starting to identify more as "brown" but more than anything it's because I feel society views me as such.[/quote]
