Description "My shining blonde hair brightens African gold."
"My luscious lips chant Asian melodies."
"My swan eyes capture European beauty."
"What if the color of my body doesn't reflect the color of my soul?"

To those who adore other cultures...please don't feel bad.
Your body are honest to your heritage.
Your mind, definitely, need to be loyal to its passion.

Sorry for not represent every cultures/races. I play with generic stereotypes of White, Black and Yellow. But, I do know that it's hard to categorize people by using skin colors or even by cultural continents.

Personally, I'm quite conservative when it comes to cultures. I choose to stick with my Asian background, because that is what I feel comfortable the most. But, I'm interested in learning other cultures. And I really hate when some people get names because they are just interested in other cultures that different from their background. So, I draw this picture as another way to support people whose skins can't express their soul.

Awwww....thank you again for the compliment.


When I was young I wished I could find some people who were similar to me too.

I don't know it's lucky or unlucky that I have no opportunity to find people like me.

But now I think I'm proud of being rare and different.  And I know there are some people, like you, out there appreciate these qualities.

you should be proud! i know what it's like to be the odd one out too. aside from being a visible minority, i'm also a female in an underrepresented career. sometimes i get a lot of stares. but i like breaking stereotypes and proving people wrong, so it usually works out alright.

That's so brave.  It's good to hear that.

I think you should be proud of yourself as well for not surrender to some beliefs that limit our freedoms to be ourselves.  


As a male I find a lot of burdens on my shoulders too.

Especially in Asian society, I am expected to be non-emotional, aggressive, sexual, a provider, a protector, obsess with being a husband and a father...etc.  I think I can interpret "being a man" according to my own experiences.  Why being born as a man stop me from showing that I can cry or be sensitive, I love sweet, don't like cars, or sports?  And it doesn't mean that when I don't like "men's" stuffs make me flamboyant, love gossiping, know every brands of make-up, clothes, shoes and bags.  


When I say that I was born to be different and don't feel like playing some expected roles, people around me look at me as if I just punch someone in the face -- like I break a holy mandate or something.      


Even though it's irritating and pressured when no one accepts the fact that we were born different, I have only one way to live.  I can only be myself and not others.  So, it's great to see another person who stands strong on the ground for being who she is.

Well, don't worry about what other people say. Ignore the looks they give you. You are who you are and that's none of their business. Just be proud of who you are and never let them get you down.
