Quotes:
"I can identify with White people, because I know my mother, her side of the family, who I love. I've had White friends.
I know people from high school that I might not have hung out with outside of high school, but I think I got to
know them pretty well, so I know they sense of humor. But at the end of the day, I never felt White. I don't know
what that feels like. I can identify. But never have I felt like I'm one of them. Not that I wanted to, or tried to,
but it just was what it was. I identify more with what I look like, because that's how I got treated. Not
necessarily in a negative way. But when you get pulled over by the police, I can't pull out my half-White card.
Or if I just meet you on the street you're not gonna be like, "This guy seems half-White."
