How Do I Accept My Reality as a Norwegian?

Man says, dear hank and john, i'm an 18 year old nerd fighter of african islamic descent who lives in norway. I came here as a refugee and have adjusted well to this society since then. But i still struggle with identifying myself as a member of the society. A lot of people seem to have problems with accepting me as part of it. If you define norwegian ness as whiteness, that's racest. And so it falls to all of us, no matter our national identity, to come up with definitions of that national identity that do not depend on race.
