Caucasia

Is this a place, perhaps reality? Do I live in Caucasia? I think yes. I live in a world dominated by the white race. Though the white race doesn't technically exist, white skin is superior. Birdie is caught in between. She can pass as white, but isn't the same color on the inside. This is a huge dilema for her, and she struggles with who she is and who she has to act like throughout the novel. I can feel for her, though i could never be mistaken for another race. I'd be interesting to see how it would feel to be inbetween for a few days. I can't wait for the end of the book and hopefully she'll end up being able to be black on the outside.
