Haha, actually the part about "normal" people is less important for me. There are a lot of originally derogative words that have been 'reclaimed' by the people in question. I'm far more annoyed by these idiots who think they're special if they give themselves a cool name, and who are then all outraged if you get their labels mixed up.

Obviously some things you do or are influence your personality. I'm not a nationalist of any sorts, but to me it really matters that I'm German - not because I'm "proud" of it or anything stupid like that, but I know that the country, the history, the language really influenced the way I think. Other things - like being straight, or being a woman - really don't matter much for me, identity-wise. What I find strange is when people pick out one of these traits and decide that it defines entirely who they are. It just weirds me out.

I know why I avoid all kinds of ONTD. ;) über-Jews, lol. Another group of people I don't understand. Especially those who run around telling everyone how incredibly Jewish they are, and then they know even less about Jewish culture than me (and I already don't know much about it ;)). Anyway, the exams are over. I can now go back to being stupid and lazy, yay!
