How do others define your race?

I think a lot of times people think that I am just White. But, people in the South, where I am from, they assume what I am based on who I am hanging out with. If I am hanging out with White people, I am assumed to be White. If I am hanging out with Hispanics, I am assumed to be Hispanic. Honestly, it really scares me when people see me as one thing or another because I don’t see myself that way.
