I am a 23 year old Male living in New York City. I am asked all the time "What nationality are you?" Sometimes I wish to quip that I am a human such nationality should not identify us, but I like to reply that I am American. Clearly not the answer I am looking for but born and raised in Brooklyn, NY I can identify myself no other way.

Then the question is phrased "What ethnicity are you" or "Where are your parents from?" To which I reply promptly, for it is now the correct question for the answer to which they seek, "I am Asian, Chinese to be exact with my parents from Hong Kong"

I am currently attending school for my 2nd Bachelors. A waste of time some might say. Fleeing time it is indeed, however to be honest I didn't do enough during my first in order to land me a career, and me being one of those new age hippies who believe the mantra "Love thy work," I was under-employed doing real estate work part time to which I hated due to blatant racism and discrimination to which I had no control.

But all was not wasted, for I have made bonds that have lasted, got into a loving relationship, and built my character constantly absorbing life skills beginning with the read "The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene to which I still employ skills mentioned in the book today.

Alas thus are musings for another day.
