because no matter what, i'll always be considered a foreigner here. People always see or hear my name, they ask where i'm from, if i say dc, that's not what they mean, they mean what country... they see my skin, it's the same thing... If i go to india, i'm a foreigner there, you can tell from the way i walk, talk and act, that i was not raised there. My roots are from india, the values and customs that i grew up with are indian. But in my family, i'm considered too "american"....
