Someone on this forum, made a stink about me not sounding black, and I've had more than a few models think I am white only to meet me on set and see the color of my skin. Nothing about the way I live my life screams black/urban. I listen to Rock, use to skate board, ski, ride horses, shop at Hot Topics, play in a band, and read comics. My friends of other races always welcomed me, but the black peers would "hate" and call me weird for liking Maynard Keenan, Kurt Cobain, and Trent Reznor. People have said I "act white", but I'm just being myself, not trying to "act" like anything. Damn the status quo, live your life and be happy. What these nameless people think of you on this forum or anywhere else is totally meaningless as long as you are happy.
If you ever change your mind about modeling, give me a shout. :cool:
