[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Their great-great-great grandfather was black. Tell them that. [b]I wouldn’t refer to them “mixed race.”[/b] [/quote] Black biracial person here (i.e., one of my parents is black; other is a "brown" race). I agree with PP. I'd just say you have a small amount of African ancestry due to a white-passing ancestor. As far as "passing," you can just explain that societal conditions were unfair for black people [i][b]at that time[/b][/i], so much so that some with mixed heritage decided to "pass" into white society. A lot has been written on this phenomenon. [/quote] tuh![/quote]
