one of my new friends who's asian when she asked my ethnicity also asked me my "spiritual ethnicity" and after saying "you mean like rachel dolezal?" I admitted to being an indiabu. I said "I like hinduism and stuff". I did not admit how deep the rabbit hole goes...

I feel like I'm basically culturally arab, but... that's... yeah... combination of growing up latino as a white person in an otherwise meztizo chicano family (a lot of Mexican cultural things that are both unlike the indigenous way and unlike modern Spain are basically holdovers from the Emirate of Cordoba) and then having been muslim on top of that in a community that was largely Syrian and Arabian means that I've been immersed in Arab and Arab Adjacent culture for a hot minute.
But my spiritual culture? Shoot, IDK. I don't seem to fit in anywhere.
