under the skin

Being Indian is definitely not bad because of all the advantages like free money and cheaper food. There are some disadvantages to like being profiled by cops and just strange looks might be the worst. Because I am naturally tan i think that is an advantage because i dont have to go taning, i dont get sunburnt that easy, and i think being tan just gives me a differnt way of thinking about things. Not that not being tan is bad because everyone thinks different and i think the color of your skin does mean somthing. I think goups of people should be different colors because it dosen't just make the person who is colored think but the people around them to.

Indian in the cupboard

I went to a pretty much white school there were a couple other tan and black kids and everyone knew who they were. so it wasn't a bad thing being different but at the same time it was.
I would say being Indian in a pretty much white school is controversial, but made me think i wouldn't want to be any other color. Being Indian at school i would get alot of the same questions like what type of Indian are you like American Indian or red dot Indian, do you get money, and how much money. getting the same questions from about everyone. You get a sense of how people feel about Indians by how they respond when i say I'm Indian some think casino and some think free fishing and hunting or free money. im not saying being indian in school is bad just different by what i can tell.
