And who do you think you are?

Amused slightly by how racist some people i know are. I think they whould be horrified if the knew the truth about my background my strong anti racist beliefs. My mum is half welsh, my father is irish and has native american indian in him somewhere, he has picked up the nice skin tone , alas the only part of me that has that skin tone is my arms! The rest of me is milky white , i have natural mousy redish hair but i choose to colour it a redder shade of red as it suits me i feel, i also freckle really easily , i don't tan i go red, so i don't bother tanning as it does make me feel sick..anyway pale is interesting. My step grandad who has been married to my nan for way longer than ive been alive is an american, australian . My ex step dad was originally from Kinshasa
 in the congo but moved to beligum when he was about 10 then here in the uk when he was 18, and i have  step brothers of mixed race . My mums best friend of 40 years is half asian (indian) and is married to an asain man. ..I just wonder how on earth in a world where life and culture blurs so easily into each other people can even still be predudice without totally ostracizing themslefs? Move on people! Embraced our differences and realise how boring the world whould be if we where all the same.
