My ethnic origiin is British -- English and Irish. The English in particular have caused more grief in this world than anyone I can think of. But if I let myself be defined by the past, I'll be a mess. Luckiily i have a bit of Scandinavian in me to keep me sane, lol.
So I would say embrace your ethnicity --and especially, love yourself for who YOU are, and all that good stuff.
You're right about the pandemic. It's made people weird. I think in America, Trump's election also made most of us psycho, including those of us who hate the guy. It made his supporters crazy because they turned into a cult, and it made those of us who despise him crazy because we discovered we live in a world we can't understand.
Normal people of the world, unite! All five of us, lol.
Good luck and hang in there.
