A woman with Haitian, Chinese and European ancestry

If a woman is born with Haitian, Chinese and European ancestry, Where is she from? What is her nationality? What kind of food does she eat?

Some would argue she is "Placeless..."

I am not trying to raise a silly question, shis is actually a New York Times article written by Anand Giridharadas

In the article, she is called "The Placeless..."

It starts out like a story...

On a deck in Boston, seven friends recently gathered for dinner. At the table was a white American man; his wife, an Italian woman he met in Switzerland; a Swiss citizen raised in Kenya; a German of Korean origin; a woman with Haitian, Chinese and European ancestry; the son of a black American and a German Jew; and an American with Indian blood.

Can you even guess how this story will end?

Perhaps you should read the article: The Struggle of the Global Placeless
