Very important you read the comment on this one for the sake of symbolism.
It's actually been a really long time since I've done ANYTHING of a symbollic nature and I've actually wanted to do this one for a really long time. I'd done it before but it was nowhere as near as good as this and I doubt I'll ever show the original of it, EVER.
Anyway, on to the explanation:
"First and foremost, I am an American, borne and raised. Proud as any patriot, honorable in his words, gentle in his kindness but vigilant in the face of defiance. Everything I do is exceptional; to prove everything, as we do, have everything. I'll fight to protect my country, I'll die to protect my country so long as I can ensure those I love, I cherish, I admire, I aspire and who inspire, are granted the same right as I. I am an American though my past bears the history of foreigners, of outsiders who wished and dreamed to make a difference and find a place they could call home and live freely.
Though unclear of my origins at first; I was brought in and raised under a Japanese banner. Gifted with the luxuries of an ornate culture of imperialism, diversity, ancient secrecies, seamless infinity and beauty. Of a language I can call my own though was never born of. I am grateful to the cause of sympathy my family has brought me into; with food, shelter and safety all summoned by the collection of this Japanese culture. All of these things I know and have always lived with are merely a break in the stone of time I've yet to crack, yet the evidence has begun to show itself...
My past houses the lost and rediscovered tidings of my Celtic and Filipino heritage; equal in their beauty are the hallowed ancestry which honor God, family and peace. The Albannaich, for their secure sense of tradition, tribesmanship and numbers who I always have felt compelled to be surrounded by; those I trust, those I love, keep safe in my ranks and extend only my most astute confidence to.
Equal in measure is the Filipino blood running through these veins, and the tan skin, which herald the history of defiance, rebellion, strength, stubbornness, persistence, courage, passion and honor. That history acclimating archaic Malayan beginnings with infused, forced upon, Spanish inclusion and embarks the history of that strength. Rather than being wiped out, my Filipino heritage endured and have become a people all their own under the reign of their once Spaniard conquistador masters and have become master of their own, within the thousands of beautiful, iconic islands they know and have lived in for so long. Though separated by these countless islands, the Filipino remain united and as to everyone else who is not, the Filipino people welcome everyone as a part of this unity. In this regard, my sense of equal unity and undying desire for this is sound and never ending. It is who I am, it is who my people are.
These tendencies represent all the marks of who I am, who I have always been, what I might mean to others and how they might understand me; I'm Filipino by birth, tan and dark haired, brown eyed and proud; Scottish by half met romances of my parents but Japanese in upbringing by the family who would have me when I was alone nearly two decades ago. I am grateful for all these things in their shortcomings and their rewarding, boundless gratuity by all accounts; history, upbringing, ancestry, love, disappointing discoveries and false felt truths. I would not change who I am, I cannot change who I am, I do not want to change who I am.
I'm Juju Hakuda, and this is my pride and legacy..."

Sad people don't see eye to eye with this idea, though they often accidentally preach it time to time. People wanting to keep this bit of land with this bit of skin. They often don't stop and think what makes their hair black, their eyes green or their skin olive. More people should seek to get a greater value out of going to a new land, tasting different cultures and perhaps repopulating with different nations. Just sayin'
