Reposted from @unworthyproductions Fun Fact: Our original Earth 2-18 suit designs are a mashup of @davidfernandezart concepts from MMPR and Zeo! ⚡️ Going by our IG Poll, about 1/4th of you guys didn’t know so we thought it’d be cool to dial the clock back to the origins of Unworthy to show you guys how the first suits were designed. @davidfernandezart’s original Ranger concepts balanced the classic style with a modern twist well and we pulled that aesthetic into Unworthy. 🔥 #NowYouKnow — Shoutout to @the_insightful_panda for the art of our suit designs for reference. — #PowerRangersUnworthy #MMPR #Fanfilm #PowerRangers #Cosplay #Cosplayer #Cosplayers #Toku #Tokusatsu #Webseries #RedRanger #BlueRanger #DavidFernandez #PowerRanger #Art #Fanart #GoGoPowerRangers #MightyMorphinPowerRangers- #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/CHdqXB5h730/?igshid=qop6ufcbsi86

Stefan Pruessmann.

“From Asian people: “Oh you’re white passing.” From white people: “Oh you’re Asian.” 

How do you identify ethnically?

German-Filipino, I identify ethnically as German Filipino in that order. You’re better than those “lazy Americans.” (because you’re German-Filipino mother way of saying Disassociates Americanness)

How do you feel like you belong to each ethnic identity?

I feel like I belong to my german side due to my citizenship, blood, and personality. I personally feel closer to my father who is German, a quintessential German laser-focused hard worker, and quiet.

For Filipino, I was raised quite Filipino in my upbringing, my church had a Filipino community and I had tagalog classes. Additionally, most of my social activities revolved around the Filipino community, we would have normal gatherings with food, however, now I do not feel as connected to my Filipino identity because I’m here in college.

How did your relationships with your parents affect your perception of your own identity?

For my Dad - since relate to personality more, I feel more German. This started my freshman year of high school began to feel more German. There was a swing from identifying with my Filipino identity towards my German identity as a result of spending less time with the Filipino community. Eventually the German identity “filled the void.”

When I was younger I felt closer to my mom, who is Filipina. This was because I did and went to more Filipino activities when I was younger.

How’s your relationship with your mom?

There were moments of tension, on the phone I can’t talk to her for more than 10 minutes at a time, and she would often blame my bad behavior on my dad. Somehow people in the family always get roped into problems.

Was there one side of your heritage that you feel you identified with more as a child? Do you feel like you belong to one identity over the other now?

Filipino because spent more time with the community, even that was complicated by the biracial nature, not quite at ease. Even the other biracial kids appeared to fit in more and that was further complicated by the biracial nature.

Why did it complicate your sense of identity?

I never felt at full ease with the full Filipino kids. I identify more with my German identity now, because I feel closer to my dad, who is the quintessential German, and because I haven’t been spending time with the Filipino community. My Filipino family was always scattered around the US.

How has travel influenced your feeling of belonging to your identity?

Only been to the Philippines once, summer before kindergarten. It has not affected my identity much. What I do remember from that trip though were the rusty playgrounds, cockfights, and overall not that good of a time when traveled because it was the rainy season.

I have been to Germany more than 5 times, and two of those times I’ve spent a month there in Hamburg. When I went to Germany I thought I would feel more German, but instead it was just a reminder of how American I am.

*Explain scene in Food where Beth and Sang meet for the first time* Have there been any instances in your life in which parts of your identity do not align/clash with each other?

In the early stages of taking after my dad, I disassociated with the Filipino community. For North Germans, talking a lot and big gatherings are not traditional.

My mom has always been very strict about religion and my dad converted (to Catholicism).  My dad is a very moderating presence, I feel like I inherited that from my father.

One instance where my identity came into conflict with another was in a previous relationship, where she practiced her religion kind of loosely. Conflict over hypothetical kids what religion to raise them in. In Stefans case let them pick.

I  inherited my non-religious identity from my Dad (Lutheran). He was not very serious,  and I averted whatever my mom strongly believed in.

Reflect on this quote from The Night Counter (“Like I was saying, I look at myself in the mirror a lot. I see sickly and pimply, but I don’t see Arab, or Chinese, or Black. I do see someone who could definitely pass for Latino but not a hot one like Shakira or Jennifer Lopez...I used to think I would look weird ice fishing, but once someone thought I was eskimo, so I guess I could go ice fishing one day if Brenda would want to do anything fun.”)

How do other people’s perception of your identity affect your perception of your own identity?

I don’t know if it sways me in a certain way.  From Asian people: “Oh you’re white passing.” From white people: “Oh you’re Asian.”

How has FASA affected your perception of your own identity?

Shows how much more Filipino other people are compared to me. Hurt/showed a truth that they’re way more Filipino than me but at the same time exposes me to the culture.

What measures would you take to address the part of your identity that you know less about (if you want to)?

Know less about the Filipino side, emphasis is always you’re Filipino and German and not American. Joining FASA is the step I took towards rediscovering my Filipino identity and I take German classes right now.

How has your identity evolved since coming to college?

The American feeling increased due to absence of parents, my time in Germany has reduced how German I felt. FASA has increased my feeling of being Filipino, so 33% all around of American, Filipino, and German.

Reflection

Donnella, Leah. “‘Racial Impostor Syndrome:’ Here Are Your Stories.” NPR, NPR, 17 Jan. 2018.

In the Racial Impostor Syndrome article the author Leah Donnella, talks about the feeling biracial or multiracial people have when they do not feel adequately part of the culture they may be experiencing at a specific moment in time.  Similarly, in listening to Stefan speak of his interview, I would not say that he feels like a racial impostor, but to a degree, he does feel out of place.  I believe, this feeling is further amplified due to the fact that both parents as immigrants, one German and one Filipino -- of two different cultures.  On top of that, the United States has a culture of its own, creating a third identity in which to grapple and incorporate with.  To reiterate what was said during the interview, Stefan felt out of place when visiting Germany because it reminded him of how American he was, and on the other hand, he does not feel close enough to Filipino culture.  He cited that he felt out of place during Filipino gatherings in his youth.  As NPR mentions in their podcast, talking about racial identity can be difficult especially according to American’s traditional understanding of race, however, as we being to open up about our experiences, we are able to learn more about each other holistically.
