What about this type?

I am not the only mixed ethnicity in my family, in fact my mother is also a so called ha-fu. However, in her case she's a mix of western countries, not a "noticeable" ha-fu. Today, I would like to talk a little about my mother, she was born in Casablanca, Morocco, October 1963. Her mother being French, and her father being half Italian and American. My mother moved from county to country after that because of her Father was a diplomat. 

Well, I am not going to explain to you her entire life in chronological order but I will try to show you the emotional side of being a ha-fu, no matter which mix you are. 

While interviewing my mother, I found out that she did have some similar problems that I had to face. One of the biggest problems was fitting in with the others also known as, Identity. I think all of the mixed race people have a identity crisis and it does not end when you have grown up. However, the identity crisis begins in childhood when the heart is most innocent it is more sensitive to curtain things, such as not fitting in and not knowing why, different type of people, and not understanding why this is happening. 

Coming back about my mother, she told me she had the same problem, because in the American school she could not really blend in with the other kids because even though she spoke english it was different from the other kids and she felt as if she did not really fit in. When her and her family moved to Rome, she entered a French Catholic school, there she had less language problems, but still was looked upon as a stranger by few kids, even though she did not have a big language problem after words, because she attended French school, her identity crisis was based on the fact that she had other customs, which were not purely French or American. 

What I want to point out here in todays blog is that it is more common for us to hear about the mixed race having identity crisis and getting bullied. However, even I did not know that my mother went through the similar problems as i did, and I realised one that kids are cruel and very sensitive to insecurity and can pick on that, but this is not important. However, that as a mixed race no matter if you are half asian/western, asian/asian or western/western being mixed race and moving from places to places as a child will give you such problems.  

There are differences, such as if you are half Western/Wester then physical appearance wise people will not judge you as much as when you completely look different form the ones around you.
