Half Dutch/Half Filipino
@shygirl1986 Do you identified with Dutch or Filpino or is it a combination of both?
@PacificSunrise To be honest, sometimes I feel a bit confused. When I was growing up I was raised more Dutch in terms of my grandma taking care of me and we mostly ate Dutch food although I was introduced to a lot of different foods. I was also raised more in the suburbs with mostly white children. As I get older, I've definitely embraced more of my Filipino side but I still proabably identify more as white just because of how I was raised. Sometimes I feel confused and frustrated, but when I say frustrated it's more for things like makeup colours and hair products that are harder to find for my skin tone or hair.
@shygirl1986 Thank you for sharing your insight. I can see that embracing two cultures is not easy but doable.
@PacificSunrise Definitely. I like the fact that I get the best of both worlds and I'd call myself pretty cultured.
