Identity


I have been just a little busy lately, lots going on, but no time to write about it, but I wanted to relate one quick anecdote.

I was taking an online survey a bit ago, and the race question came up. Instead of asking 'What race are you?', It was worded as "With what group do you most closely associate?' This is an entirely different question. I am white, but I live in a primarily African American neighborhood, on the other hand Mrs. is Native American, but I work at a university who's population is primarily white.

I was stumped!
