re: #332 prairiefire

My daughter’s good friend was giving another kid heck because this kid said “Of course she plays violin well, she’s asian.” My daughter’s friend said “That’s Racist! Besides, you are not even Asian.” My daughter said “well, i do have this Asiatic fold in my eye”, her friend said “I never noticed that!”
My daughter is 1/2 Japanese.

Ive often wondered being biracial is a different experience if you are of a mix other than black/white. Black/white has been THE racial fault line in this country for so long, but for other mixes I wonder. Especially, if it’s when both parents belong to a minority group. Either way I say let people self identify the way they want and leave them be. Children can embrace all that they are and be prepared for people who won’t like some of or all of what they are.
