Whats it like to be a uni-racial person? cause I dunno what its like. So when you are with people that are your race do you feel an instand bond and connection with them because you are the same race? And do you kinda of root for them out of this brotherhood? I used to think I had no connection with most others because I am “deep” and have a strange personality, but is it just because I am bi-racial that I feel no kinship with most people?
I can’t imagine (as a person who is about as white as people get) that being ‘of one race’ is particularly different. I think that the reason that you don’t get on with people is because you are locked into a spiral where you claim that the world is a depressing shithole and then go about proving it by making yourself depressed just so that you can have the last laugh and say ‘see, I was right all along’.
But that’s a story for another time…
If you want one of those,
download Yahoo or msn messenger then PM me and we can sort it out.
I’ve got 37 people on my msn contacts list and I can give you all the friends you like, or we can just talk one-on-one, any time, about anything.

What’s not to like?
Being a monoracial person is just like being a polyracial person in that there are always jerks who will find something different about you and make fun of it to gain the illusion of popularity amongst your peers. It’s not just ‘cross-breeds’ that get teased. There is no instant bond unless you are overseas and are just greatful to find one other person who can speak english. Being ‘bi-racial’ has nothing to do with your personality. If you think you are ‘deep’ it is probably because other peoples conversation seem like they are always about unimportant and trivial things, and because you having no love for trivial bullshit you may interperet this as something being wrong with you, that your personality is strange, but it is not. You may simply have overlooked the possibility that when people are talking crap, that might not actually be interested in what they are talking about. The important thing is that they are paying attention to one another and making each other feel important by being worth the time for a conversation. This is called bonding. The only reason people talk about crap like sport or fashion is that some who initiates a conversation is worried that the other person won’t be interested, and so they pick easy subjects that nearly everyone has some kind of opinion on. I listed to four guys talk about cars at a party some time ago, and I admitted I didn’t really know much about cars and if we could talk about something else. Three of them looked embarrased and slightly relieved as they didn’t know much about cars either but were too afraid to admit that they had been faking it for ten minutes.
The point is that if you feel like an outsider around other people, then you are completely normal, but suck at faking interest.
