		<description><![CDATA[I am approaching 50 years old and I have stil not found serenity for my  Irish, Crypyto Jewish Chicana ancestry which includes some Navajo and Ute blood. I appear clearly white and spent many years trying to figure out how to be the brown woman I felt was lingering in my soul and it really does come down to owning it all because we are walking in many worlds often. Thank you for writing this I am so excited that multiracial and ethnic identity is finding a way into the diversity dialog in this country. .]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rachel,

First I wanted to wish you a very Happy New Year.  I really liked hearing your story. I would love to hear more, especially about maybe when you were a teen and dealing with having both feet in the racial door. I am white/jewish and my husband is south east asian. Our eldest is now a teen and is having problems with where she belongs. She tells me that she is having problems fiting into asian groups because she is too white but she is also experiencing problems of being considered too asian for the white groups.  On top of that she is jewish while 99% of her friends are not.  I cannot tell her what is right or wrong because I am not mixed. I wanted her to start a group for 1/2 mixed children that way she could be around others that are mixed and have the same problems.  I digress.  I would love to be able to hear from more authors like yourself that have gone through the ups and downs.  Thank you!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is a rich post.  My &quot;prejudice&quot; toward anyone at a college like Oberlin would suggest that only from such a place would such deep thinking surface!  That&#039;s surely a cultural bias, which I laughingly accept!  However, you do raise poignant points.  I&#039;m happy to see this blog giving voice to these issues.  As an African American with the usual touch of European ancestry, I don&#039;t have the same issues biologically, but certainly socially, culturally, emotionally.  As a baby-boomer, having dealt with this when it wasn&#039;t a popular topic, I&#039;d suggest the only way to deal with it is to become so clear within of one&#039;s identity, for me, who I really am regardless of race or class, or any other biological, or even social, cultural, construct.  Then, one will gravitate toward and attract like minds, kindred &quot;spirits&quot;, not like bodies, or people focused on them.  It takes lots of work, study, meditation, introspection, individual courage.  It doesn&#039;t necessarily lead to life as defined by &quot;society&quot;, but it will certainly lead to happiness with self.]]></description>
