I could not agree more, sometimes, I ask myself why people divide others depending on race, I couldn’t have said it better, race is truly a weak common bond. I have always identified myself as a korean female, not asian female. If I classify myself according to race, I am classifying myself according to the way I look, nothing more, but when one classifies themselves according to nationality, not only are you classifying yourself as far as physical appearances go, but there’s also tradition, beliefs, customs, history, and ancestry, one’s nationality is so much more meaningful than one’s race. I have also noticed that a lot of the Europeans tend to classify themselves according to their ethnicity, whereas the majority of Caucasian Americans and Canadians classify themselves according to their race. Part of the reason why this is the case is probably because Caucasian Americans and Canadians don’t necessarily have a true ethnicity, most of them are a combination of about a dozen things due to intermarrying, such as a combination of German blood, a little bit of Scottish blood, a little bit of this, a little bit of that, whereas most of the europeans tend to have a clearly defined ethnicity, they’re either Austrian, or English, or French, etc. A lot of the Canadians and Americans have in a sense, lost their ethnicity, but a lot of them still maintain their race, that is all they’re left with, so that’s all they’ll use.
