why would someone want to wish they are something they arent.. My sentiments exactly. I think that as a mixed person, I'm proud of my cultural mix because I was/am blessed to have an EA dad who was/is not ashamed of his mix. I have never wished I was completely white or completely asian, because each part of my genetic and cultural heritage make me who I am.

yea.. spending most of my childhood and teenage years in the philippines, there was a time where I wished that I looked 100% filipino. When I was in grade school, I kinda' felt uncomfortable and insecure because I was always the tallest girl in class and even taller than majority of the guys. My crushes were most of the time smaller than me, that sucked..lol..I felt like a giant a bit... Also when I went somewhere in public (whether with the whole class during a school trip or with friends), there were always people noticing me coz of the way I look and asking me stupid questions whether i'm a 'americana' (many pinoys say americana to anyone looking white).., or there were these kids calling me 'german shepherd' or 'hey joe' in the street (there was a juicy fruit gum commercial during that time with a caucasian guy where a filipino says 'hey joe' to him), that annoyed me because I didn't want to be different, i just wanted to fit in and be like everyone else... I just wanted to be normal and I felt like I wasn't.
But now that I'm older and living in germany, I'm actually happy and contented as a eurasian and I wouldn't want to trade with someone who's 100% asian or 100% white.

I have the same experience..I hate when old women pinch my cheeks back in the old country.. I always thought the malayo polynesian look looks better, but I don't know why they want to have lighter skin. Anyways, if you are either full white or asian, I dont think you would even think about it though. I like the way I am.. not too asian, not too white..

I was like the tallest in the whole class, even all the boys. (primary school in japan) >_> Lol

^ que sketchy ... I used to want to look more filipino. My aunts sent me mixed messages. "You could pass for filipino with a tan"... and then they walk around with umbrellas in the sun lol... Well I have gotten over that stage in my life... and I'm happy the way I am.
