I can see that, the mixed-race women I have met from Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester etc are basically white and they will hear nothing different
As someone who grew up in the US and studied in the UK for some time, it was interesting to see mixed race people have a separate identity from black.
I've always associated mixed race with black, but I guess that's partly because the very archaic one-drop rule has shaped racial identity in America. Also, at the same time you can have AfrAms who look very "mixed" but have two black parents. This dates back to generations of mixing.
Identifying mixed with black also strengthened the civil rights movement. The UK had never gone through a black consciousness movement like that. So I can tell you for a fact when I was there, mixed people whether by society or personally projected a different identity from simply being "black".
The one issue with this one-drop sort of racial categorization is that if a "mixed" person ends up having a child with a white person, that child is phenotypically white. How can you still call their offspring a black child? It wouldn't make sense.

You've done the most simplistic thing you could possibly do. Make a casually offhand statement without offering a counter argument.More ignorance.

There can be people who have grown up in the same country but hold differing opinions. If you don't have enough intelligence to put together a cogent point to refute what I've said, then say that.Internet has people like you convinced that everything deserves a rebuttal.
You are speaking from a place of ignorance. You did not grow up in the UK. You did not spend a lot of time in the UK. Your time in the UK was spent studying, which is going to give you a more limited view on society (student population).
Your position does not make you an expert on the subject, but that is how you're trying to position it.
ExacttttlyIsn't this what people on this forum get bent out of shape over? People who don't understand the history of your country making sweeping generalisations based on their short lived and narrow experiences?
Anyway, his post is filled with ignorance. Ignorance of the history of racism in the UK, the resulting conflicts, and how society regards biracial people.
So you're talking on all the countries in the UK yet by your own admission then say you didn't leave M25There can be people who have grown up in the same country but hold differing opinions.

Btw, I went everywhere from Croydon to Hackney and back and was literally chilling in estates.
