Identity

Society itself has a great influence on who we are today.  People usually tend to follow their idol or whoever they look up to/admire.  Reading the Article on "The Complexity of Identity" makes me realize that people who are of the "dominant" race don't mention it.  A teacher in the article would ask their students to complete a sentence, "I am _____," and they would state their answer.  Some would say they're friendly, shy, assertive, intelligent, honest, and so on.  The teacher realized over time that students of color would mention their racial or ethnic group.
