If you can't change the world, you change the word. "Ethnic" used to mean "anyone not Greek". It carried the connotations of "heathen" for centuries until people decided it meant something else.

Perhaps it's time to make the world realize that it's an ineffective and anachronistic division - and that to me is an admirable goal, one bigger than any type of social unity that's ever been accomplished in human history.

And I'm not suggesting you're trying to hide what you are or assimilate - you really can't, nor do I ever think you would. You're proud of who and what you are, and I respect that. You're out in the world, in a predominantly human college, unafraid to show what you are but also not using it to isolate yourself.

In all actuality, you're the perfect example of my entire point.
