I am, like so many others in this country, a minority, which is to also say that I am not white. If I wear a hijab, I am Muslim. If I walk into a Mexican market, I am Mexican. When I cover my head in a Gurdwara, I am Sikh. If I am at the airport, I am randomly chosen for a full body search (every single time). I have, like so many others, been identified as black, mixed, Spanish, Indian, Sicilian, Egyptian, Sri Lankan, Pakistani, Palestinian. We are all black. We will never be white. And my son will look a lot like Tamir Rice. I say that as your average Punjabi kudiyan (girl) born and raised below the Mason-Dixon Line. #modelminority #tamirrice #mikebrown #ferguson #indian #indian #punjabi
