Identity Crisis of a Fourth Generation Asian American

venting my frustrations regarding out dated forms that don't take into consideration the countless individuals of mixed ethnic backgrounds in Hawaii especially.

Half yellow, half white A box provided for each "Please choose only one"

Suppose I am both

Not one over the other

What shall I do now?

Close my eyes and pick?

ini mini miny mo?

I think not my friend

tired of being

caught up in bureaucracy

and out-dated forms

I am proudly both

Not one over the other

Half yellow, half white

Author's Note

This is just me poking fun at the hundreds of forms I've filled out in my life requesting my ethnic background, and demanding that I limit my choice to one or the other.
