I think everyone is kind of an immigrant somehow, and I wasn't raised in an American society at home. My household was a Jamaican household, so I got all my traditions, all my roots and culture intact, so I'm able to support both countries.
I loved this idea of always being a foreigner. There's this thing where people bring cultures, bring the music together. I love it when the music, when the cultures collide and something sort of new comes out of it.
I like the mix of something farmlike and something futuristic and artsy mixed together. It's kind of both my worlds.
I live between two things-I live between art and pop all the time.
I want to have Congolese influences but also influences from Dubai and Abu Dhabi and France. To mix everything up.
So American culture is itself a hybrid and lends itself to use in other people's hybrids.
My mother's Mohawk and my father is Scottish/German from Nova Scotia.
So many people are of mixed heritage; everyone is from somewhere else.
Culturally, I'm not 100 percent Korean. I'm very mixed and very open.
I come from French Cajun Jewish people.
I've always felt very much from a mixed culture - mainly English and French, but also Nigerian, Thai, Mexican. Everything's had its influence on me.
America, thou half-brother of the world; with something good and bad of every land.
All cultures have been mingled forever.
My husband is half Japanese and half white European-American, and our son is half Korean, quarter Japanese, and a quarter white European-American.
I'm Italian, but I'm also a little Brazilian: Pirlonho, if you like.
Sudan is not Arab enough for Arabs and not African enough for Africans.
With a far-future setting merging Chinese and American culture, 'Firefly' also saw high-tech futurism blended with the traditional Wild West.
Texas is a country in its own. It's made up of half Mexico/half United States but completed mixed. I don't mean to draw a generalization but it is a place, a territory, that's really made up of all these encounters, you know?
My father is Chinese, Spanish, and Filipino; my mother is half-Irish and half-Japanese; Greek last name; born in Hawaii, raised in Germany.
This is a good thing, mixing culture to make something new, something no one has ever seen. This is kind of a new history.
I call my culture 'kimchi and collards.'
