[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused by this conversation.  It's interesting.  Many of my biracial friends and their kids identify as black, which is very different from my kid doesn't look black and he's treated as Latino.  If you raise your kid as black, they will believe they are black.  It's almost as if you don't want them to identify.  All of this 1/4 this and 3/4 that is just dumb.  Eventually, someone is going to call you kid a nigger and you better be prepared.[/quote]
You are out of your mind and I hope you are not at my child's charter. My child is technically 1/8th black and looks completely white. I couldn't raise him black if I wanted to. He would look at me like I'm crazy. Why would you try to force a race on a child? That's what's stupid. I couldn't imagine why anyone would ever call him a racial slur, unless they would randomly call a white child the "N" word. It's attitudes like yours that keep the racial status quo going. I'm just glad that my child's school is diverse with people from everywhere and they're all accepting. This is how the world is in my neck of the woods.[/quote]

prior posters original comments are crazy except for this 1/8 black stuff, kids don't identify as such. You say why force races on kid and comment on caller saying child will be call N word, but you yourself label the child as white!!!  I'm biracial and could be labeled many different ways but choose black, America is a strange beast for a biracial child, if you're a white parent you might be surprised by what your child chooses to determine their race to be and it might not be what you yourself choose for them.
