[Strella-G]

I think many Americans and Latinos are racist and ignorant. I wasn't surprised that those racist Americans from Atlanta couldn't tell the difference between a Mexican and an Arab, because I have lived here for a long time. I immigrated to America when I was 11 and was shocked that many multirracial people - and even those who could pass for white - were considered 'black,' because where I come from (Europe), they would be 'mixed ' or 'mulato.' Americans have discriminated against me more than Europeans have. I went to Switzerland a few years ago and was treated like a beautiful 'queen' for being a brown-skinned Indonesian, Hawaiian, African, Latina (the list goes on ) woman. I was beautiful in the eyes of European men because i wasn't 'white.' In America, I am looked at as an inferior, foreign and not good enough for a man to take to see the family, because I am not a blond-haired, blue-eyed white female. My Dutch boyfriend told me to move to the Netherlands because they don't focus on race as much as Americans, and some Dutch men are married to brown-skinned women.
