Also -- the decision made in the



1967 Supreme Court case of



'Loving vs. Virginia' ruled that



the 'One Drop Rule' was both



racist and unconstitutional and,



thus, to try to forcibly apply it



to someone now -- is illegal.

What race am I???

multi-racial



What race am I???

Trust me if you are not full Caucasian then you are considered a minority anyway so it doesn't matter. You choose or simply select other.



What race am I???

You are mixed race! I know in America it's kinda different to here in the UK, and "mixed race" is not a common term, but that is what you are.



What race am I???

Your American. Be proud, it's the best thing you could be.



What race am I???

you are human. that is the best race. why does it matter anyway?



What race am I???

by law you are black because you are MAJORITY of african descent



but i will simply call you a "ghoulash" %26lt;%26lt;spelling????



What race am I???

From what your stating that your fathers mother was Caucasian and Cuban but your father considers himself



Afro-American that's where the confusion is with your father.



He is not Black.



What is the nationality of your mother's parents?



Everyone now a days say they have Native American in their family history. Seems to me like you could just consider yourself Caucasian.



What race is on your birth certificate?



What race am I???

If you want the archaic Thomas Jefferson classification -



If you have an eighth of black blood running through your veins or less, you're not black. Anymore than an eighth of black blood, and you're black.



But, seriously, you're multi-racial and if you want to categorize yourself, I would ask, what part of your heritage do you identify with the most?



What race am I???

I'll let you tell it!



Peace!



What race am I???

human?



What race am I???

you are mixed...



why should you call yourself just one, when you are many. thats not right. be proud of everything that you are.



it may not offend your parents but what about the people in your family who aren't black- you re turning your back on who they are and who you are



What race am I???

Black, move on. You worried about this "race" thing too much
