I am frequently told, by my mother's side of the family, that I resemble my father. People who meet me hear my last name and identify me as Italian/Sicilian American, despite that I am mixed with many things. I am told, when people know my background, that I look neither Iberian nor Slavic, and I am never accepted as either one. I am frequently mistaken for various Southeastern European and East Med ethnicities, while I am not ever accepted as Portuguese or as Polish.
This has influenced the way I identify and perceive myself.
