i am actually half-white, half-asian. i don’t know what community will accept me more, the russian communities online/in the us (since i probably won’t go there) or the east asian (chinese/japanese) ones.
i clearly will not look full white and it may have people say im not “real russian”.
dad is chinese-russian, lived in germany for a bit. (baden-württemberg i think). mom is russian.
Hi,
I’m hald-european, half-asian. from y expeiebce, blending in is an obvious choice. But I reallized, I’m not really asian, because I have european traits and references, and I’m not really european because I’ve asean traits and references. You will not be really part of any and both at the same time. You want to belong to a group, that’s understandable. But you are in between, or better said you are the bridge between these groups. This is what’s defining you. You can be part of each of them, using what you know about one group, and add spice or knowledge from the other. you are more that one group.
My experience, and I had a former superior who also was between 2 cultures : we don’t really fit in to one pot. we are our own pot :)
My german side love a nice german beer, but my vietnamese side loves viet coffee. I love Frankfurter, Nürnberger, Müncher sausages in a bread, but I can’t help my self with Cha Gio.
Go to group that are accepting you. And if they don’t, too bad for them, there are plenty other groups, until you find your balance. And may be it means being in ultiple groups at the same time, and that’s really really fine.
