Skip to the bottom for a tl;dr statement.
Alright, so I was "X-Ray", which sounded really generic and I only chose it because it was on the NATO phonetic alphabet and I used that as a name list. Bear with me, I was young. I started to grow up (1 year later) and realize that X-Ray had nothing to do with who I am. . The kids at school claim I'm a "Panda" because I'm "black, white, and Asian". This is some cheesy joke I said one time and they applied to me, since my dad is German (white) and my mom is Filipino (Asian), and I apparently earned the (black) part because I "just am". However, when talking to a member of AO (Italian, some may know him if they are AO natives), I told him about how I wanted to change my callsign into something that was less kiddie and was more like me. I told him the kids at school called me a Panda from some cheap joke I used to say. He said it fits me, but I wasn't sure. Then this went down
Italian: Just go with Panda then, it fits.
Me: I'm not really sure if it fits though, it came from some stupid joke.
Italian: Well, describe yourself then
Me: Well, I'm Asian, I like to eat, and I'm lazy.
Italian: Exactly, Panda
And thus I was Panda.
TL;DR: I'M ASIAN AND I KNOW IT.
