If you asked me what my cultural background was a few years ago, you probably would have got a different response each time, depending on the year and my mood. The usual answer was something along the lines of: “Asian, I guess? Lots of different types of Asian.”
My father is from Kashmir, a disputed region between India and Pakistan. My mother was born in Singapore to Chinese-Filipino parents, but was adopted at a very young age by a Eurasian mother and an Indonesian father. By my count, that’s six ethnicities already.
