How important is your racial identity to you?

Advertisements [?]

What do you say, AAIG? I'm curious.

How do you identify yourself? What component of your identity comes first?

Is it your gender? Is it your ethnicity? Is it your sexual orientation/place of geographic origin?

For me, I have always considered myself black before anything else. Now that I've been out of the States for so long, I now consider myself a "black, female, American" in that exact order. If I was home, I'd probably be a "black, female, Southerner." :)

Anyone else put their race first?
