[quote=Anonymous]One last thing: A biracial or MGM person who looks "white" can legitimately identify as a white person of mixed race heritage--just as some biracial/MGM people identify as black. They will generally be perceived and treated as a white person. The only people who will have a real issue with this are white supremacists and one-droppers. Both groups are committed to promoting the myth of white racial purity. Many white, mixed race people have been conditioned to accept the one drop "rule" as law--so they identify as black. That's their choice, and it's not my place to choose their identity for them. Examples of white people of mixed race heritage are Wentworth Miller and Jennifer Beals. I don't know how these two people identify.[/quote]
