    I am half Mexican and half Chinese. When I am asked what nationality I am,I find myself responding differently according to the situation. For example, If I am asked by Hispanic people I tell them I am just mexican. If Asian people ask me what my nationality is I tell them I am Chinese. They usually do not beleive me. I do not do this to be deceitful, but merely to make things more simple. I hate being asked…Well what do you consider yourself. Also, I get better treatment (politeness, servive,respect) if I claim or show sidedness to the culture of whom I am in contact with. This is sad but true. However, the truth is that I consider myself 100% Chinese because my mother drilled that into me. So, It depends on your upbringing and your perception of who you are…where one is raised, environment, nurture. One issue that I think is interesting about being biracial is discrimination that one receives from both sides of one’s genetic makeup.
