Odd Little Things

I always found it odd how people have never regarded criticizing or showcasing my copper skin pigment, my writings, or political affiliation as highly as my sex life or criticizing my artwork, weight, or hair style. If it's physical, people care. If it's intellectual or cultural, people just don't seem to give much of a crap. Do most people even know what adoption is, let alone multiracial adoption. My parents, god bless em, never played the race card in my life, and it didn't seem to matter with the people I knew personally either. That stuff is only something someone cares about when your famous: Your physical characteristics. Hell man, I'd even go so far as to say that my adoptive parents didn't even know what interracial adoption was when they adopted me. My skin color was invisible to them and my friends and family for the most part, other than as a side note. Something thought but not said. My parents have never once used the term interracial parents, children, or adoption the entire time I've known them. The only reason I'm aware of interracial adoption is because of the internet, when I researched and looked it up on Google one day. Other than that, I'm ALL AMERICAN.

It almost seems like, traditionally speaking in society, that's the opposite of how your normally treated in pop culture and society
