Name one disadvantage of knowing who you are. (I.e., people will nev-
er agree with you; instead, they will tell you what they think you should
be. After being asked once at the grocery store, I told the guy that I was
mixed. He gathered my change from the cash register and said, “Drinks
are mixed. Dogs are mixed. You are biracial. Have a good one.”) _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________
Is identity a choice? Choose one. (I hate that phrase. I like other, neither,

er, a friend, addict, confused, trying, etc.) _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________
