Wow, I kinda thought it would be tough being biracial and all, but I never thought it came down to choosing sides. Another thing. Why is it that when you are mixed black/white you are still automatically considered black/african american. Kinda jacked up. Thanks for sharing.

Well it's different for everyone, some feel they have to choose sides, some feel pushed to choose what side, some don't feel they have to decide at all, and etc lol. And I totally agree with the if you mixed black and white your automatically considered black. Most people mistake me for a Latina, but once they figure out that I'm black and white, I'm suddenly their "black" friend.
I think it has to do with "black" celebrities. Like Halle Berry, Beyonce, etc. Even though they are mixed race, the media represents them as black. (Just a guess)

It annoys me that when one is half black and half white, people will just think you are only black. I always have, and always will, see myself as BOTH.
But in the end, it doesnt really matter. What matters is who you are as a person. We are all God's beloved children, equal in His sight.

(Not bad for a guess) Yeah you're right. I didn't even think about those two. I quess you could even throw Alicia Keys in there too. It seemed like once they were labeled black.....they just went with it. Thx for chatting.

I can relate I am multi-racial my mother is Korean,Japanese and Black and my father is German. It's a bit confusing but I've never really encountered any prejudice probably because I live in a pretty diverse area. You are very pretty though :}

Yeah i know what you mean, a lot of black guys ive met tell me "Well society sees you as black, so just accept who you are" I do accept who i am I am mixed race! But yeah i usually respond with This society has mistaken me for a lot of things and its usually not black and they're usually just dumbfounded lol

I'm sorry That's unfortunate, I grew up in a semi-diverse town. And I have my share of racist people too, we all do. It sucks. But you can't hate yourself for it! Their the ones at fault. You just gotta ignore the bigotry sometimes, because its not worth dwelling on. We gotta stand tall.
