My mom is of mexican decent and my father of german. When I check a box on a census form, I'm supposed to check "hispanic". I relate to my mexican heritage as much as I do my german, which is not that much. I'm neither. I'm an American.

Growing up my father told me I was a germican. I always liked that... I'd check that box.
