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

I saw some post about someone being against interracial relationships and they mentioned the kids of those relationships will be confused and conflicted about who they are or where they belong.

I never felt that way. I've always been under the impression that I'm just me and I don't need to particularly fit anywhere specifically.

I don't think we feel out of place or confused until someone purposely makes us feel that way.

In the U.S. it used to be very, very simple for some of us. If you had a black parent and a parent of any other race, you were black. Period. You experienced all of the discrimination of any other black person. Even on one’s birth certificate it might say “Parent: Caucasian Parent: Negro Child: Negro. Even now, many of my generation describe themselves as “black with a white, Native or Asian parent”.
