At this point, there is the issue of shaving off the beard. That would probably help me to blend in with surroundings of a less Middle-Eastern nature. As for my other features, I’m not sure what I could do about them. There is only so much that can be done with plastic surgery and bleaching agents. Not that I am too concerned with how I’ll be perceived by certain small-minded people who need something to hate. My Middle-Easternness is nothing that I would really like to change. It could probably open up a whole new way of life for me. And I have at least one Algerian friend now who seems to have some insight on what it means to be from that region of the world.
Hopefully, I will have more insight into myself. It is always difficult when you discover what the world sees in you.
