We always expound on the virtues of being a multicultural global citizen of the world.
BUT.
1) This Chinese ethnic org will not recognize my 50% Chinese makeup because my birth cert says I am Malay (so I can’t apply for funding)
2) This Malay ethnic org will not recognize my 50% Malay makeup because I’m not a Muslim (so I can’t apply for funding)
3) This conf grant will not recognize my Asian citizenry because I’m a resident in Australia (so I can’t apply for funding)
4) This women’s org will not recognize my Australian residence because I hold a Singapore passport (so I can’t apply for funding)
Have I reached peak multicultural global citizenry? (No)
Is this just a bad morning of grant application disappointments? (Yes)
Okay. I have purged the bad feels. Onward and forward.
From now on my race is ‘Human’ and my citizenry is ‘Internet’.
