If you emphasis / view yourself more with one race, ethnicity more than the other? And also what if they do, but going by how they feel about their appearances ? (i.e light skin, tan, white,black, brown etc.)  

Like lets eee some examples..  

lets take a:

german / polish / sweden / irish guy. Lets say he's have more / emphasis german more than the other?

or

white / black,  appearance wise turning more white but emphasis viewed himself/herself more as black? Specifically with African culture, not what you may assume a "wigger"

or how about some southeast asian race mixed with black, appearance wise on the outside is tan skinned (not too dark like orange light) and emphasis more on his/her southeast asian culture than his/her african roots?

etc...

Yeah hopefully you get the gist of it. Just some examples of what im trying to say. So do you think its wrong if a person does that? If mixed with mexican and german / irish / etc. and turns out resembling mexican more, and embraces that culture more than the other?

The answer is" it depends who I am with and what else is going on".

At school I get more emphasis on my latino heritage (partly because most of my classmates are latinos , partly bec I look more latino)

In the street I am considered a cholo. I get insulted in spanish, in english in whatever langauge bec Im mixed and I live in a bad hood filled with gangbangers.

At home I really don't feel any pull either way. I feel like myself and I don't even think about my race.

When I visit my asian family I get more the asian emphasis.

When there is a celtic fest or St Patrick day I feel totally irish!

So it really depends on the mood. But I never feel divided or confused. I am prety happy I am different and I got lots of heritages to play with and be happy about.
