[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thread needs to be deleted.  It is completely ridiculous.  The only thing I gathered from this thread is that all AA are extremely hostile toward biracial people.  Clearly, we are living in a society where the most intolerant people are AA.  My, how the tides have shifted.  [/quote]

Then you clearly did not read the whole thread.  More than a few biracial people said that they did not experience bias from AAs growing up.  You're chosing to focus on the crazy -- maybe because it fits your own preconceived notions (AAs are the "most" intolerant!) and that's a YOU problem.[/quote]

But it does exist, both my step children experienced it (not in DC but in another metropolitan area) growing up.  I would rather put my kids in a community where there is less of a likelihood that someone else's beliefs try to force them to define themselves.  It was a disgusting experience.[/quote]

Fair enough and a legitimate choice for you and your family.  But it's not universal and we make the discussion unnecessarily polarizing when we assume our life experiences are.  All the best to you.[/quote]
