What Race Are You On The Inside?

Check out that color. Now have you ever seen anyone that exact color? I didn't think so! Race is just something used to divvy us up based on physical appearance and helps us lazily group together different cultures. According to society, you have amazing rhythmic and athletic talents, love fried chicken and watermelon, and you are seen as the dark horse (no pun intended). The Merriam-Webster dictionary describes a dark horse as an entrant in a contest that is judged unlikely to succeed. But America loves an under dog, so welcome to the dark side my friend (Pun intended)!

Check out that color. Now have you ever seen anyone that exact color? I didn't think so! Race is just something used to divvy us up based on physical appearance and helps us lazily group together different cultures. Since you are white on the "inside", it kind of sucks that you can't really reap any of the physical/hereditary benefits of being white, however you can know that you are seen in society as the majority and rich... which are good to have! The only real downsides are that you may be seen as being bland and a little stiff at times, but if you focus on the whole majority and rich thing I'm sure you'll be just fine!

The only yellow people that truly exist are The Simpsons, so we can throw that antiquated stereotype out the window right now; you're Asian on the inside remember!? According to society though, you are mentally and technologically advanced years ahead of the rest of us, all the while being very respectful to your fellow man/woman! So people may say that all Asians look the same, can't drive, or have slanted eyes, but with your new-found advanced knowledge and incredible sense of respect, those insults should just wax right off that "yellow" skin of yours.

Check out that color. Now have you ever seen anyone that exact color? Maybe, but I don't think so! Regardless, race is just something used to divvy us up based on physical appearance and helps us lazily group together different cultures. Hola and beinvenidos to your inner Hispanic; just in case you did not know that means hello and welcome. I am an insensitive American who A. cannot decipher between different Hispanic cultures and B. Assumes you all know Mexican. Get used to it, because it's going to happen a lot! According to society everybody is envious of your work ethic and pure unbridled passion, and they're also kind of envious of how hard you like to party but they cast a frown on that. It sucks that you're only Hispanic on the inside because you're missing out on the benefits of awesome tanning, but with that work ethic and passion you will undoubtedly surpass your physical limitations!

Welcome to the Middle East! Now check out that color. Have you ever seen anyone with that exact color? Maybe, but I don't think so! Regardless, race is just something used to divvy us up based on physical appearance and helps us lazily group together different cultures. Perhaps the laziest grouping of people takes place in the Middle East, as that includes the diverse countries of Bahrain, Cyprus, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, the Palestinian Territories, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. Now all of these countries can't be full of Sultans and radical Muslims can they? Well, yes according to modern American ideology, so get ready for that! However, there are some very cool stereotypes to being Middle Eastern on the inside, and one of them has to do with what's on the inside of all that desert land... oil! Walk around like a shiek and people will assume that you are dumb rich and extremely devout to what you believe in, but they will also look at you as a womanizer or being womanized, even if they know it is in accordance with your belief system. Yea, it get's really complicated being Middle Eastern on the inside in Middle America, especially with the whole ISIS/terrorism thing floating around... so definitely read up! Oh, and happy fracking; I hear it's hard work!
