[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m MENA (middle eastern, northern African), ex-husband is white, and my daughter put down she is white and not mixed race as middle eastern is considered white on census forms. She feels very strongly that she’s middle eastern, but until racial definitions change, it’s not right to say you’re anything but white. Don’t think being middle eastern helps.[/quote] In your situation, I’d call her AA if your husband is from North Africa- it’s absolutely an accurate term for the offspring of someone born in Africa [/quote] Not true. My father who was 100% North African had blue eyes and very white skin. There is no way anyone would consider him (or me for that matter) as “African American”. [/quote]
