True, but living in a multi racial family does help you understand other perspectives better than most. For example, my in-laws were shocked that my wife would lower herself to date a white man. They said my body hair makes me look like a monkey. But we have been together for 36 years, so I guess my wife likes "monkeys".

You seem to struggle with racist tendencies, if you can't separate a religious identity from a racial one. If you convert Judaism, you too could go too Israel become a citizen and fight for your homeland. Your skin color won't make you less Jewish or less a citizen.
