Why do people often think biracial/multiracial people are confused or conflicted about who they are?

@Babylon me neither especially in 2022

@SW-User agreed

@OogieBoogie So you are full European... That's not mixed race. Get off the band wagon.

@Innsegall ahhh, see !

Its how people choose to identify ethnicity.

If someone was half Moroccan and half Tanzanian, are they not mixed ethnicity.
WHat about half Russian and half Chinese? French and Sicilian?

Thinking that "mixed race" is a band wagon, is the VERY thinking that perpetuates the idea of racism into an issue.


Where does one draw the line?

If ethnicity is a cultural identity, and certain characteristics, then then my examples comply .

If I can have friends who identify as aboriginal because they are decended from them, then I can choose from my ancestry what I identify as.

But I agree...its silly.

We are who we are.

In fact , we are, and will continue to become more so, a ethnically blended population .

And if I was to get technical - in fact: we are all one race.

But thankyou for showing that race is an abstract thing , a perception .

There are some places in the world where even a cast can define a person .

Its the 21st century....we need to let it go.

@OogieBoogie It is silly. The same people who say there is no such thing as race only ever say this(or aim it at) white people. But when referring to oppression or slavery or any other historical grievance, all of a sudden whitey does exist as a race, which must pay for the crimes of their ancestors in blood or money. It's only the 'anti-racists' who perpetuate racism. Again they say that there's no such thing as race, but we must have equality,sorry 'equity' between the races. i.e. provisions within society to raise or help other races to the level of white people. The jews never required any assistance rising through the ranks of our elite. They did that by themselves. But the 'anti-racists' scream from the high heavens that whites need to help blacks, by diversity initiatives which give placements, industry positions or governmental positions, not based on merit but on the colour of their skin, by the endless cry for reparations, by shorter custodial sentencing because they commit more crime... and its not their fault. Jews have been in America(in any great numbers)for less than half the time of blacks and they control nearly everything, without any help from white people. 'Anti-racists' are the most racist because they believe that black people are inferior to the rest. That they can't do anything on their own merit.

@HijabaDabbaDoo I guess in a way I lucked out because my mother is mixed also and that is probably the one good thing she did for me. She pretty much raised me with that mentality

@BeefySenpie I'm surprised it's still up
