I think one of my greatest sins is believing that earthly love would do more for me than Jesus’ love already has.

The Struggle of being Half: Part 2

Ok guys, at my school we have this thing called CGSSSA Dance, and there is a categories for each type of dance. So there’s; Jazz, Hip Hop, Contemporary, Ballet, etc. One of those categories is called Folk. This category includes any cultural dance as long as the dancers are from that background. I entered this category last year along with a few of my friends from year 9-12. This year our school is entering this category again. I found out that 2 yr 11’s were controlling who’s going to be included in this dance. Pretty much all the islanders in my year were offered to participate in this dance apart from my friend, Hope who is Samoan and Me. Ok so don’t get me wrong, I’m not ranting because I wasn’t invited to do this dance, it’s just I found out the reason why they didn’t offer it to me. I found out that the 2 year 11’s decided not to offer it to my friend because she causes “too much drama”. when in reality it’s them that causes the drama and the reason they didn’t offer me is because I’m “Just Asian” As you can tell, because of my last rant I hate it when people don’t acknowledge my other half and to find out I'm “too Asian” to participate in something I love to do is actually really depressing. Sometimes I wish I could just be full Asian or full Rotuman so people wouldn’t base me on my looks. You might think this is something really stupid to be going on about, but I just want the racism and discrimination to stop. So I just want to put it out there that, there is nothing wrong with being half and there’s nothing wrong with doing what you love. Never let anyone stop you from doing what you’re passionate about and don’t ever be afraid to stand up for yourself. #RacistToMyPassion
