Yes everyone identifies with a certain ethnic group however culture varies from how you were raised, where you grew up and who you grew up with. I feel like ethnic background has become less important especially in this day and age where technology is so widely used people are more open to new ways of thinking and learning. Politics is ridiculous and really just distracts people from what really matters, being kind, caring for the earth and having fun.
