I don't know how important this is but I am Dutch, German, Irish, American and African American. I do not really look like any specific race and I do not have traditionally black hair, you would say I have "white" hair basically. My skin is definitely light, but not awkwardly pale haha; I'm bronzed thank to the sun. I was raised in a predominately white community and I have mostly white friends. I am not racist and this is not a huge factor in my life, however I would like to know what I am getting my self into.

Please do not sugar coat your answers, I can take it..
Thank you!

You said this as if being black is a bad thing. "You have mosty white friends"..."black hair"..."white hair". WTF? And you're not a racist? Cool if you have mostly white friends but, you say it as though you don't fuck with black people.

No, I am most definitely not a racist. I have black friends too so do not put words into my mouth. There is a difference in the type of hair many races have and I was trying my best to describe mine, but truly it does not matter. Some of my friends were telling me stories about how at the schools i have mentioned above do not let in non-caucasians and I wanted to know from someone who might have attended either school to answer. I thought describing myself would make a difference for some reason, but it doesn't so that was my bad. I'm sorry that you found some of the things i said offensive but i did not intend for them to sound that way at all. I really just wanted to know if race is going to be a factor when rushing next fall.

I wasn't putting words into your mouth, I don't have to. You already painted yourself to look like you have a color complex, based on your post. Race and gender make a difference in a lot of decisions that are made in everyday life, so get used to that. No, I wasn't offended by anything you posted, because I'm happy being black. Funny, how you posted everything else you're "mixed" with first, placing African American last. I don't know you, but based on your post, you sound like you wish you were white.

It's dumb to say she wishes she was white especially since you really don't know her ethnic background (she may be more "white" than black). That's cool you're happy to be black (as you should be) but why waste the energy to get all butt hurt if someone of mixed race identifies as being more white than black?
