OK I like this one for a few reasons: I love the accent for a start :) Get somebody who with the right accent to speak it and you'll see what I mean! Also, I think it's a little bit like me. A half-caste person is somebody with different race parants, like half black and half white. Instead of being one or the other, they're a combination (which I think is a positive thing, you can have two cultures, enjoy them both :). In a kinda similar way, I'm a girl but I like girls... I'm not a whole girl almost. People who know about me often just take me for that and don't look at me for the whole person I am. That's why I love chatting online - I meet people like me and who are interested in me for who I really am :) I hope you enjoyed!
