Historicaly there was a term called "passing" and the brown "paper bag test', but we are in 2022 and people get to decide.
Some use it as a sense of pride while they struggle to figure it out.
This question depends on the individual, 100%
yea there is a lot of history behind this. There was the One Drop Rule. This no longer exists, but the idea of it kind of stuck around.

i feel like early on in the more jim crow days they were just considered black people and they had no choice so they just embraced it.

but I feel like now it's taken on it's own form for different reasons. it's become more of a trendy thing to identify as a minority group as a source of pride. imagine in 2022 saying you're proud to be white lol, probably get cancelled. but nobody will bat an eye if you say you are proud to be black and you'll be praised and commended for it.

i'd rather get away from the whole identifying and being proud to being a certain skin colour tbh and just be proud of accomplishments and things that you can control that you did with your own two hands. i think it's okay to be proud of your culture/heritage/where you came from but i'd put individuality above that.

at the same time tho, I think it is also where you were born, how you were raised, how your friends/peers looked at you, etc so it's more complicated. maybe they were raised and more exposed to the white or black side of their family. grew up with a lot of black people as friends, etc.

I have alot of mixed family members. none of them really care or put much thought into what race they "identify" as.

The Kaepernick douche is a good example

Not only is he light skin biracial person, he was adopted and raised by white parents and grew up in the suburbs.

God damn miscers prove how sheltered and unaware they are everyday.

Such strong opinions about people they've clearly never interacted with.

"White" is an amorphous term that refers to someone with light skin. Biracial people often have darker skin, and wouldn't be considered "White". I don't think this is that complicated...

My daughter is mixed black and white. When people ask what she is she just says bi-racial without a skip. A lot of people think she is Spanish mostly Puerto Rican which she is definitely not.
I probably banged your mom.

Idk why other family’s do what they do


But for my kids the nurse and hospital told us we could put both Asian and white and the kids know they are both and they know the Asian stuff they do and the white stuff we do. (Dinners with white rice vs dinner with potatoes and bread etc..)


It’s really not hard to have both cultures and appreciate both cultures for biracial families at least for us. But I also grew up and lived with my Asian best friends when I was 18 until starting my own family so it was more natural to just meet people in the community I hung out with.

i'm white and filipino but people think i'm spanish/hispanic. it wasnt that hard growing up with two cultures since i had the best of both worlds. the hard part was telling mexicans i dont speak spanish and that i'm not hispanic.

i wish 23andme was around +20 years ago. i found out i'm 1% black, so i could have gotten me some of that there black scholarships

Kaepernick is a perfect example. Dude is a quarter black tops, and raised by white adoptive parents in a white community. He had a nice life. The white community welcomed him in with open arms and gave him a great life that led to him becoming a multi millionaire athlete. Yet he cries about racism and adopts the "black struggle" persona and latches onto every "black" cause and grows the most ridiculously enormous afro of the modern era in an attempt to be seen as more black


Our resident Jaydawg is another example. He is 7/8th's Indian but goes on and on about black this and black that, photoshops black faces onto his avatar, and is constantly posting black reaction emojis

This. Mixed crew. I grew up in upstate NY during the 70s and 80s when mixed kids weren't common at all.m
My brother and I were the only ones I knew really.

No one ever called me white names but I was called black slurs plenty.

Thing is my mother side is part Irish Scottish so I have more white than black. Did the Ancestry thing and I'm prob only about 35% black. My fathers side is Ukraine/ Belarus/ Czech etc mix.

People don't see white when they look at me. I've actually been mistaken for everything from Hispanic to Spaniard to Polynesian ( especially when I was younger and my hair was longer).

BTW.. I've always declined to put B or W on applications and have often written "human" in the other option of the race line.

Because the offspring of coyotes and wolves aren't either.

You need to be 100% European to be White. I'm 75% Scot and 25% EE Jew. I consider based Jews to be White though.

I'm biracial, and let me tell you no one white assumes that's you'll act as a white person. To many whites, you're just another black they'd rather not have to interact with. Inversely, many blacks think the opposite. You're not dark enough to be real black, you don't know the struggle. To a black person, if a biracial person is doing well, is because life is easier because of their lighter complexion.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

This. When you can't choose sides you have to stand up on your own two feet like a big boy and treat people like, oh my god, people. Shocking.
The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.

Because the media and pop culture portrays being black as "cool", and being white as "uncool". For example, if you watch Chapelles Show, every single skit that concerns white people portrays them as nerdy, uncool, unattractive, less masculine, etc. Here's an example:



And don't even get me started on all the cuckold porn that's pushed out there.
