[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are they not considered just Asian like how mixed black and white kids (Barack Obama, Halle Berry) are considered just ‘black’ by the general public?[/quote]
As I explained above, it’s phenotype. White people considered Mariah Carey white long after she had said repeatedly that she considers herself black and
had revealed her black father. White people love to argue that Meghan Markle isn’t black, even though Stevie Wonder can see her mother is very much black. I am in a black/white mixed race marriage. People think one of my children is Latino and when the other straightens her hair, they consider her white. Both proudly identify as black, but people (esp whites) actually argue with them![/quote]

I guess I'll defer to you on this what white people think thing...this is all super uncomfortable and I haven't done a poll, but I am white and I don't think, if pressed, any of my white family/friends would consider 50% black to be white. Basically regardless of what you look like unless a rare, rare outlier would it even be s possibility. And if they knew you're heritage, no way. Mixed race, all the way. Poll 100 white people on what race Markle is? I don't think you're getting "white" from many. This is the country of the one drop rule. A good portion of white Americans are on the fence about Italians and Jews being considered white, so I am skeptical the pendulum has swung that far in the opposite direction. [/quote]
