While reading This Book Is Anti-Racist, I realized how everything stated in the book felt familiar in a way. I always knew how common it is for someone to feel like they don't fit into the box of "the dominant culture." There are so many different aspects to a person and not just their skin color and/or interests; it's also their sexual orientation, any disabilities, or whether they are considered rich or poor. There are so many more people who don't fit into this box than those who do.
As a queer Asian American woman with curly hair who grew up poor, it would only make sense for me to understand everything the book was stating. I've always loved how people are continuing to find ways to express themselves and their identity because it helps others understand who you are. I also liked how the book explains what makes a person's identity and explains that you are you, what makes you unique, and how you shouldn't change. Staying unique and true to yourself is something I strongly believe in.
