When I was a young girl, I grew up in a suburban, predominantly white community. As a child, I used to note that the color of my skin was darker than most of the other children in the classroom. I even remember literally eyeing the room, seat by seat, wondering what everyone's race was and how it differed from mine. Maybe the reason for my private visual surveys stemmed from the fact that I had recently come to the United States from Guyana, a country in South America where the common ethnicities are African and Indian. As a child, I didn't understand that other children in the room were Armenian, Turkish, Puerto Rican and so forth. I only saw different colors.
As I grew older and more comfortable within my own community, I became comfortable with being the only "Guyanese" girl. I didn't even mind explaining, multiple times, where it was and why I don't speak Spanish despite being from a South American country. Eventually, the little town I lived in began to diversify drastically as more and more minority families were moving into my area of north New Jersey.

Dream_Gurl101. Friends and fam making me feel weird cuz I tend to
like white guys more than black guys. Luckily from me my folks
understand that I'm just open to going out with all kinds of guys.
Oh BTW this reminds me that I'm in the process of asking this one
white guy I like to prom with me. I'm praying for two thinigs:
1.)That he says yes most importanly.
&
2.)That if he does go with me that there is little to no drama
from his friends or anyone I know.
