To start thing off, here is a link to a very interesting article that I think applies to more and more people now-of-days, http://muslimmatters.org/2010/05/19/identity-vs-nationality-vs-ethnicity-2/ Though I’m not as “tangled up” as the author, I still have some problems like the one’s she does.

My mother is American and my father Indian(which subsequently makes me an “other” on all forms and such). I was born in Massachusetts and am stillll here. So what does that make me…? You can weigh in, but please be civil and polite. Thanks!
