[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why I would not recommend raising a biracial child in the area. Too much baggage. Really, biracials just want to be left alone. This thread illustrates that may not be possible. Sad for 2015.[/quote]

So, where is this utopia where I should raise my biracial children?  I grew up in Los Angeles (the U.S.' unofficial biracial Mecca), and all of the issues discussed on this thread were present in LA.  There is no perfect place to raise a biracial child.  [/quote]

Stay away from ungentrified DC and PG County. Too many one-drop perpetuators. You could try NoVa. More tolerant of biracials on the one hand, but you'll deal with more sophisticated racists in whites, Persians, etc... No where is perfect. Also, the comments about the passing bs are dumb. If I'm walking my white-appearing ass down the street and people assume im white that's on them. I'm not passing. I'm minding my own damn bidniss. It's not my job to make sure people know I'm part AA. They have yet to pay a bill of mine. [/quote]

How are the NOVA whites and Persians "more sophisticated" in their racism?  Just curious....[/quote]They smile with a kink in their eye and your kid never gets a play date. You know the types.[/quote]
