You probably don't realise that they're right. You're not white and you're not black. You're you.

I can tell you that over time it gets less discouraging to not feel as though you belong to either group: I'm half black half white as well. Just remember that race does not define who you are, and find people who accept you for yourself. As you get older, it gets easier, even if others don't understand what it feels like to be on the outskirts of two races.

high school is really hard, because everyone is trying to define themselves and fit a certain stereotype to feel like they belong. i remember in high school struggling a lot because i was similar to the kids in a lot of different "categories", which actually made me an outcast who didnt truly fit into any of them. as you grow up, people become more real and become more themselves, because no one fits strictly into one category. as you grow up, these categories start to mean less and less. people stop trying to define themselves as they get older, and although its hard now, i think you will reach a point in your life when it doesnt matter to you that you arent black and you arent white, but you are just you, you dont need a category to belong to.

I know exactly how you feel. I am half Chinese and half German. I feel as if I'm too white to fit in with the Asians, and vice versa. But I always know that I'm unique in my own way, and I would never choose to be any different. Even though it can be hard to define who I am sometimes, I wouldn't want to be full Chinese or full German.

One day, the world will realize that we're all part of one race: the human race. And that's all that matters.
