You must be from the UK, right? yea when I went there, mixed people were just considered mixed. It's been harder for us because we had the one drop rule for over a century. We're getting there, but there's still white AND black (as you can see by this thread) that have can't seem to wrap their heads around it.No, what I am confused about is why AA are so divided when it comes to mixed people. Not sure how it is exactly in the States but where I live people are just mixed/biracial and that is the end of it. I never call my mixed friends black because they are both of white and black ( white+black biracials of course).
It's only confusing to you because you are one race and can not wrap your mind around being 2. Many people can't. They are biracial, a hybrid, they are only asked to choose because people want to put people in brackets, and they cross lines, which blocks people from doing that. But, in reality, they ARE able to cross lines and be both. It's only confusing to everyone ELSE. To them, they are just both, if anything they must be frustrated people keep asking "which do you ID with", then when they say both, peoples brains go haywire.
Mixed with skittles and ratchet."I'm mixed with black, white, spanish, french, indian, creole and rainbow"
Texan is a race?
never heard a mexican or rican say that tbh. Only when they come to the states. I've been to about 4 countries down south and all of them go by nationality, they only tell me which one they are because I ASK. If I don't ask, they simply go by nationality. Everytime I ask, they ask me why americans are so stuck on the categories. lol. basically they get annoyed that I ask for them to choose. Again, it's because I was brought up in a system where you have to choose.yea but still in south america they refer to themselves as whatever country they are from, but they still say in the present day i'm negro, or i'm mulato, or i'm blanquito

I don't see that. Point is it marginalizes our advancement as a people. I think those who believe white people don't make a distinction and can't tell the difference are ignorant of history. They INVENTED THE SAME SYSTEM YOU NEGROES ARE STATING THEY DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE OR DON'T PAY ATTENTION TOO.
I never said they don't make a distinction.i never spoke on that at all.I don't see that. Point is it marginalizes our advancement as a people.

"I'm mixed with black, white, spanish, french, indian, creole and rainbow"
I'll post this again for anyone who missed it. Lol Breh there's a reason why we were enslaved and continue to be marginalized globally. White people aren't thinking about 2050. They thinking about 7045. That 400 year head start is multiplied by 20 in technological advances. at you dudes really believe cause they call Barrack a negro the same way they call Wesley 'means they won't acknowledge his white ancestry very quick.
