Tribal culture and education was a large part of my upbringing so I would have to say that I most closely identify with the Native American Indian culture. At present, I really do not partake in many social circles per say. In order to list something here, I would have to reference back to my years in the military.

Race is a very complex human designed social structure that was originally classified by color. In many places around the world, including the United States, race is still primarily defined by color, and it is easy to determine somebody’s race very quickly.

Having a deep history of racial diversity and assimilation through the colonization of these countries, there are many different races, and many different people identify with races that one would not immediately think they would fall under.
