[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister in law is biracial but identifies as being black most of the time. She went to Murch/Deal/Duke Ellington. I used to try and point out that she should identify as biracial (this was back when I was a know it all college student who was just discovering the language of social justice). Later I realized that her identity belonged to her. I thinkk all parents have to come to terms with that fact, their kid will choose their own identity. I think this is why we should teach ALL children about racism and institutional prejudice. [/quote] This. Let the kid choose. They'll have to deal with the flack/disappointment from their choice. BTW- it's not all rosey for biracials that choose black. They face being marginalized by AAs and non-acceptance. [/quote]
