I am reminded that America is a society dominated by religious fundamentalism and racism. After a time, I rejected the White American world and went to Asia, seeking another basis for my identity. My identity is still in question. I cannot become an Asian and although I was born in this country, I am not accepted as an American citizen. As my birth certificate clearly states - I am not of an accepted racial color.
