The Hardest Question

The other day

I was taking a test.

Hard-core testing 

(SAT's, what else?)

I came to a box

with the question

"Race/Ethnicity"

 

How to put this...

Am I Asian because  my parents are?

Am I Caucasian because of my friends?

 

What really matters?

My bloodline

or

My present

 

Race:Asian

Ethnicity: Caucasian

 

The melting pot of America,

so blended

that I cannot tell

what I am.
