[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. [b]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.[/b] Eventually, someone is going to call you kid a nigger and you better be prepared.[/quote] As a biracial person, [b]my experience has been that it is usually AA persons that take this attitude. Its almost like a personal affront if you dare identify with half of your racial heritage.[/b] I even had an AA classmate once attempt to change my racial identification on an organ donor form bc she didn't like I had self-identified as bi-racial.
