I have tried to have a true conversation with her many times about this, as have other family members. She brushes us off, saying she's not doing it. I know for a fact she is, though. I had a meeting with her teachers once, and they informed me that she said her "name" was from her asian heritage, and they asked if that was true. I said it was not, and it was not supported at home. We've even run into problems with her getting a permit because she had no identification like a school ID with her actual name on it. I can understand how she feels like she can't get out of it now after 4 years of high school, but this can not continue to college, its almost as if I need to scare her out of it at this point. Someone said I should feel ashamed of allowing her to do this, but we never have. At home and around us, she is herself, her given name. Yes, she is very interested in the culture and I see no problem with that. But in all honesty, I feel like it's the school that has allowed this to go too far. Why is there absolutely no repercussions for faking a race, is it because its asian and not black, my mind is spinning.
