Indledning
How do we define ourselves? One of the great Philosophical questions.
In the article “Losing Whiteness When You Lose Your Father” the American author Corina Zappia discusses our own definition of ourselves compared to other peoples’ definitions of us based on our ethnicity and identity.
Furthermore, she discusses the intersection between these two and what the life of being multiracial is like.

Uddrag
This brings me to the writing in lines 111-121 which is the last section of the article. In this section Zappia makes it crystal clear that owning your ethnicity is important because it is and always will be part of who you are.
Noticeable or not. That is also what Corina Zappia means by her very last sentence on page 4 in line 121: “And this is you.”.
The vocabulary in lines 111-121 is not particular high-styled which interacts with the intention as it simply is to inform about the main topics of the text, identity, ethnicity, its intersection, and multiracialism, and to inform as many people as possible, Zappia did not choose a high-style language.
