[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are half Latino, but have light skin. They identify as Latino, because the Puerto Rican culture is a major part of our lives. They spend summers there, we cook Puerto Rican food from scratch, we are bilingual, we celebrate using both cultures (I'm Midwestern Caucasian). Culture plays a big part in how a person identifies.[/quote] This. Culture is really the key. I am black and there are people in my family that are basically white (blonde, blue/green eyes, fair skin) but they identify as black. It's really a culture thing. The reason some people may struggle to identify with one race is because their life is geared towards one culture more. Doesn't always happen like in Obama's case, however I can see why he would identify as black. If you are white and Asian and you don't do anything remotely related to Asian culture I'm not surprised. One of my teachers was Asian/white and identified as completely Asian. [/quote]
