Identity Brainstorming

I grew up in a suburban home in Richmond, Virginia in a white Christian family. This is a pretty generic childhood, so it does offer much to work with on writing about an innate identity, but I think Christianity fits into one of the topics. This is a group that I consider myself to be a part of that is often stereotyped in ways that does not fit me. This also makes me think that suburban children can also be stereotyped. That is at least two possible options for that topic. If I chose one of these, I would have to somehow make it into an argument. I could use examples of people's feelings toward the group and examples of people in the group to disprove the stereotype. The only thing about my physical identity is that I am tall, but there's not much to say about that. Also, I don't see any form of an argument that could come out of that topic. The other two options for the paper are more complicated, and I will have to think about them some more to try to come up with some ideas. It seems like the four choices for this essay are all about race, and I don't really have anywhere to go with mine, so I will have to work harder to find a topic to write about. To find something, I need to focus more on smaller, more specific characteristics and groups. Maybe the best way to go about it is to put myself in someone else's position and imagine what they would think of me just by seeing me or knowing my broadly identifying characteristics. The problem is that people are only born with so many qualities. I think it comes down to finding something unique that fits into the given identity definition. These characteristics are all very broad things to write about, so it will be hard to find unique examples. I guess I just have to use one of them and use situations in my life to make them unique. I'm done with my rambling now.
