Whatever your ethnicity is, in this life you are going to be on a journey to discover who you are and how you feel about yourself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When people first meet me, they're always like, 'What are you?' as far as ethnicity. And I've been pegged as 'ethnically ambiguous.'
Sometimes my ethnicity is relevant, other times not. I definitely get the best of both worlds.
My features are completely ethnic.
I'm still ambiguously ethnic. I could be Persian - I could be anything. But I'm Italian and Jewish, so I'm a citizen of the world; that's what I prefer.
I'm hoping that what I am or what I'm not ethnically doesn't limit me in anyone else's eyes. I guarantee you it doesn't in mine.
I think it was hard for people to cast me as an ethnic, as an Asian American woman.
I myself am mixed race - my mother is Korean, and my father is an American Jew - so I've always felt other.
Everyone can relate to me no matter what race or who you are or how you feeling.
I think when I first started out making music here in Los Angeles, a lot of people were really curious about my ethnicity, and you know, whatever questions they had, I'd be more than happy to answer them.
The race is your face. Obviously, I come from a mixed background. Who I am and how I look and being black.
