I am pacific islander. I first became aware of my race in school when I noticed other kids treated me differently because I am specifically Samoan. I think about race often because I notice the different treatments each race gets. I think my race impacts other because of our stereotypes. This makes me feel sad because I want people to treat me the way I treat them, not of the stereotypes and assumptions of myself.

I am Afghan American, I was pretty aware of my race from a young age. Both my parents and my whole family were immigrants so it just rubbed onto me. We are classified to be Asian American or Middle Eastern American. I do often think about my race due to feeling always like an outsider kind of. There are a lot of stuff going on with Afghanistan so therefor I felt like I had to learn about it just to know where I'm from and who I am. I do feel like my race makes other people react different with me due to my skin color and what people think they know what kind of people we are. Often think we are "bad people" or feel like an outsider for speaking our native language in public space.

I am African American. When I first become aware of my race at a young child. I was in a school where there weren't a lot of people that looked like me. I have a music teacher that who was a black man, I would get questions like '' is he, my dad?" and stuff which I would get very annoyed and find very upset.

my race is latina. I think I first became aware of my race in elementary school. I think it was whenever the school asked you to write down your ethnicity/race in the applications they made you fill out. I do often think about my race and what that makes me as a person. I think about race in general when it comes to certain topics about struggles that communities face including my own. I do think race impacts the way others treat and perceive me especially since my people have faced discrimination and and racism for so long, and continue to do so. It makes me feel mad and frustrated because we’re treated unfair only because of where we come from.

My race is hispanic. I grew up with the culture, and my whole family is from Mexico. I always feel that i was aware of my race but based on my earliest memory, i'd say around 5-6 years old. I was continiously taught about my culture and was imbedded with my roots and indigenous culture (zapotec tribe of Oaxaca). I think about my race everyday! I'm so proud of it. Personally, i resonate very much with my indegnous roots and also with being a chicana. My cousins and i are all chicanos and we grew up with that culture as much as my indegenous culture. My race heavily impacts how others perceive me, whether that perception is positive or negative

I am middle eastern. I think I was aware of my race at a very young age, because I always felt that it made my family and I different. We dressed differently, ate different food, and had different habits than other people in my elementary school. I remember in fourth grade trying to explain what my home lunch was to this white girl. To be honest, I don't often think about my race, or race in general. My race heavily impacts how others perceive me because it's something you can't not notice.

I am Latina. I first became aware of my race when I was in elementary when I moved into a primarily white school and that when I learn about my race. I was raised in a community with mostly all Latinos so I never felt like my race changed anything until I was in elementary. I often don't think of my race but sometimes I do mostly when my race is targeted by the media.

I am hispanic. I first became aware of it since I was able to understand the concept of race and ethnicity, so I would say maybe 4-5 years old. I often do think about my race because I'm considered white and not Mexican according to the census but I know what I am and im proud to be who I am. I dont think my race makes people treat me differently because all my friends are from different backgrounds. I think the concept of white people being superior is stupid because POC can do the same exact things and white people can, maybe even better too.

I consider my self Chicano. I guess all my life I have been. Through my family and my culture. The traditions we would do as a family that other people do and don't do.

I am black. I grew up in the Netherlands but i went to a school that was mainly British so I always found it hard to find a group to associate with outside of my family. In primary school i faced a lot of racism but it want until i was 17 that i really became aware of it. One day during lunch i was sitting on a table with my friends and we where drawing each other on the board for fun. One of my friends when up and decided to draw me and decided it would be funny to draw a monkey and everyone laughed at it and took it as a joke. I tried to talk to one of my friends about it but she said that “ it isn’t that deep” and unfortunately i just let it go. I think that was the first time i really became awear of my race. I never actively think of my race but i am always awear of it.

I am Asian.
So Basically I am Indian and an international student from India. I became aware of my race when I was in 4th Grade I come from a scheduled tribe class also known as backward class people. I don't really think about my class or race when I was back in India Cause no one was not comparing our race or caste a lot or the society I was living in

I am white. I prefer to identify more with my culture. I'm Irish, first and foremost, as well as Welsh and Scottish. I don't remember when I first became racially conscious, but something that caused me to think about my race was when the guest speaker was talking about the nature study program and it sounded really cool, but ended up only being open to POC. I don't think about race all that often, because it doesn't really affect the way I see people.

I like to consider myself as latina/mexican.
I first became aware of my race when I'd celebrate holidays or hear others speak in a language I didn't understand.
I do often think about my race in the sense of how i can embrace it more.
I definitely think my race impacts the way others see or treat me because when I go to mexican restaurants, the workers there automatically see that I am latina and choose to speak to me in spanish, but ngl my spanish isn't the best so i get self-conscious when speaking the language but i've gotten better throughout the years.

I am Asian and I became aware of my race when I was in class, learning about American's history. Usually I never really get reminded of race, due to the fact that I believe everyone is equal and also different. I haven't had anyone discriminate me of who I am, so that could explain why I don't feel any biased towards anyone with different race.

My race is Latino/Hispanic. I became aware of my race I believe since I was a kid, since it's always been important too me. From time to time I will think about my own race but not often. I feel that my own race often impacts how others perceive me by seeing me not as American. Almost in a way being foreign to that person, treated as an outsider.

I'm Hispanic ( Mexican and Salvadorian). I became aware of my race when I was in first grade and there was only one other Mexican kid in the entire school and we ended up bonding because we shared a lot of the same experiences/ likes. I think about my race when Im in a predominantly white environment. I think race plays a huge part in how you interact with others/ how others perceive you. I tend to find friends that I can relate to which often is other Hispanics or often POC. It affects your world views because of things you have experienced due to your race. IT makes me feel exhausted often times especially because of the conversations that surround POC and their mistreatment

I'm Jewish, that is my race. I first became aware of my race as a young child. I don't often think about my race/religion, I am proud to be Jewish. Most people perceive me as a regular person and have no idea I'm even Jewish since it's not something I speak of much, unless my yarmulke is dawned on my head visibly. Then they may ask about it etc.. Which is neve a huge deal to me..

Im Latina and I became aware of my race when I was 5. I do think about my race sometimes when I’m around people like me or when I see situations that some Latinos would handle differently. I do think my race impacts how others perceive me and it makes me feel good and bad depending on the situation/place.
