was raised with an apprication of both of my ethnic backgrounds. That's how it is with most mixed people.
except here in the USA
seriously
halle berry and alicia keys both "identify as black" even though they both look totally white
and not just them, but really the majority of the "mixed-race people" i've seen, they just identify as one race or the other and get totally pissed the fuck off if you mention their other race
for example
i went to highschool with a chocolate-skinned guy that had limp "white people's hair"
he'd never met either of his parents, he was raised by black family being moved around from aunts to uncles to grandparents, spending his entire childhood living in the same households with black cousins
then, when he got a black girl pregnant at 15, his family told him he was half white, they hadn't told him earlier because they were the kind of people that really truly felt that slavery happening somehow made the black people alive today somehow superior to the white people alive today, they didn't tell him he was half-white because they totally completely were ashamed of it, ashamed that his black mother was willing to have sex with a white man, they didn't even tell him at all untill he'd gotten a black girl pregnant, and even then they only told him because they were totally afraid his kid "might come out looking white"
i wish this were a rare story
but it's not
as far as i can tell this type of thing actually happens with most "mixed race kids"
