European Journal or whatever they call it now had a story about Tibetan kids who were placed with European families without their birth parent's consent by decision of the Dalai Lama back in the 50s and the guy they profiled unless you looked close, like at his fluffy hair, or some specific characteristics at a glance could pass for Sioux or Paiute and I wondered if they were running the story because of my complaining about being lumped into U2 when I am clearly a D and that they found other Tibetans with the same overlap mutations.
I was told about this once in a very under the table kind of way by people who said they were conflicted about things because they could see how I was struggling with not having identity and they hated that they were separated from their own kids and didn't have any sincere feelings for the dear ruler, but they also didn't want to be without identity. I could understand that though I wanted to call them pissants too, and decided my anger was misplaced sorta and that I needed to think about that in what I did regarding the identity in the future. I don't think my work with this is entirely complete because we have to do a basic inventory of traits to figure out what special needs really do exist and I use the fuck out of the vocabulary all the time or at least the vernacular but there is a lot of this that makes it just another special project of the hand that rocks the cradle.
