Groups I Identify With

In Angelou's writing of Champion of the World all the African Americans are gathering around to watch the boxing match that would decide the fate of their people. The match was extremely important and as a group the African Americans showed their attachment to the match. I have not personally experienced anything like what Angelou has written about; however, i have others ways of identifying which group i belong with.There are so many groups that i can identify with, both big and small. The largest would be species of course, and the smallest could come down to what fruit i prefer more. First of all my species. I am human, capable of speech and actions all other humans are capable of. Second of all my race. I am Asian, just like my parents who gave birth to me, i was born an asian and will stay an asian. Now to the more confusing parts. Although i am Asian in blood and appearance, i am many times called an "ABC"; American born Chinese, although i have never lived in america before. It is only because i speak fluent English and prefer it over Chinese more than half of the time, people call me an "ABC". However i identify myself as a "ABC" in my society because I act like one and all my friends do too. However identifying oneself with a "group" is not a one way thing. One doesn't belong to a group just because one thinks so, he also has to be accepted by the rest of the group. Most of the times big groups are not hard to get into because they are mainly general traits what people are born with, really don't have a choice. For smaller groups such as sports group, a person will need to have some kind of skill set needed to start the sport. With out the skill set a person will never be able fit into the group.Some groups you are born into and some you'll have to find a way to fit into.
