minority Outkast

by Monte

My skin is black. But my black friends say I'm white My white friends call me their black friend My Spanish friends just don't know My Asian friends think I'm smart. But would take me more serious if I was white or Asian. My boss doesn't see my potential Society sees me as a statistic The government sees me as a number..... Why can't I just be a human?
