I'm "black," (African-American) but I don't relate to other "black" people at all.

For most of my life I've mainly hung out with Mexican, Asians, or white people, and I find most "hip-hop" and ghetto culture rather stupid and foreign.

I listen to J-rock, J-pop, and other weird stuff, and only like a few rap songs, mainly by obscure artists. Everytime I hear a "black" person use the "n" word I actually feel like lecturing them about it.

It's actually so bad that most people just assume I'm from another country when in person. I'm light enough to look like something weird other than or not completely black (I guess) and over the phone or chatting online I've gotten some of everything, with people saying I had an Asian fob accent, sounded white, had a German accent, etc. Only thing I've never heard is black, actually.

It's weird, but I sort of like it. It's better than being thought of as ghetto.
