For me race is a little awkward but nothing awful mostly because I’m in a Christian Family. Adoption is as natural as blood itself. Nothing strange & illogical. But ya the world doesn’t make it easier.
I grew up so cultured and around people of all walks of life and circumstances that race and origin does not even matter. Hey human, Hi human - are you a good person or bad person trumps race. ❤
My two younger siblings are adopted from Korea and we always did nothing but call them family/brother/sister/son//daughter/BLOOD. We gave them a traditional Korean first birthday as well. My siblings growing up always said “I’m Korean on the outside and Italian on the inside”. Always wanted them to feel nothing but love and acceptance and have always encouraged them to explore their Korean heritage if that is something they desire. We just want them to feel love and acceptance always
The person was trying not to ask, “What race are you?” because they thought this was inappropriate. Its an awkward situation for them. I might ask someone about their backgrounds because I lived in different parts of Asia and might be looking for a way to begin a conversation about language, food, culture, travel, etc. But I understand the questions you pose about your experience as an adoptee. Any adopted child may face questions about belonging and their identity.
It isn’t right, but the experience isn’t exclusive to adoptees. What I’m irked about is that adoptees don’t even attempt to learn more about their mother country. I’m nit even saying to learn fluency or live there. I’m just saying get more attached to your roots. Chasing White people all the time does nothing lmfao. The same can be said for any other racial family.
There's so many layers to this. Adoptive families brainwash their adoptees to not want to learn about their culture bc they don't care about their own cultures. Some of us also have bitterness towards our motherland who forsake us bc of politics and economy. Korea being one of those countries. The presidents during the time of peak adoptions wanted a stronger military and did not want $$ to support orphans and abandoned kids. So yes belonging can happen with others, I see it all the time, adoptees especially transracial adoptees struggle with where we belong. Especially when adoptive families try to hide it all from us. Maybe you shouldn't judge those who have been adopted and why they aren't looking into their culture. For the most of it, it comes it just takes some time. Each person grows and moves at their own pace. Maybe we wouldn't feel this way if our adoptive parents didn't tell us to be grateful, or that we could be on the streets, or that our birth families didn't want us, maybe we would have a bit more sense of belonging and identity.

Ms. Memphis delivered an insightful talk that highlighted her journey towards independence.

Nothing is wrong asking questions. When a person has "aisan eyes", then I have a right to ask "where are you from
