My kids are also half and half, and I do think in those terms. They are mixed, but no one would call the Caucasian (i.e. white). The world will see them as having "color" and I have raised them to recognize that.

Um, because you are also white?
I don't call myself Indian either.
I am mixed race.
Yeah sure, but you are not white. And that makes you a person of "color."

That’s stupid. Mixed race is nothing. You ARE Indian and you ARE also white.

How many people think of Barack Obama as being a white man?
The world sees President Obama as Black. And he is truly African-American (half African and half American).

My kids are half Indian half white, but look pure white (blue eyes/brown hair). I still mark them as mixed race bc that’s what they are. And as for the Dravidian poster, I’m a dark Dravidian. Genetics works in mysterious ways.
