People of the same skin pigmentation ARE different.   You can't choose to be any race other than human.   I bolded my text because i feel passionate about what I am saying.  If that disturbed your sensibilities I apologize.  if my mother is white and my father is black, I can choose to identify with any number of ethnic groups or neither.  This does not make you or me biologically different. 

Ignoring who you are and where you came from is sad. The way your ancestors lived and where they came from make you who you are today, whether you choose to ignore that or not.

And the bolding was not because you were passionate but because you feel big about yourself.

Who I am and where I come from have no bearing on who I will become or what I choose to do with my life.  I am tired of people projecting their own frame of reference on me and telling me what I have to chose to be.  I don't ignore where I come from.  I simply recognize that I have choices about what I identify myself as.  That is my right.   In just the same way, you are projecting on me and telling me why I bolded.  I make my own decision and am perfectly capable of identifying what makes me passionate.   My frame of reference has no bearing on who you are and I am not so arrogant as to tell you how you should feel about a given subject.
