I am brown skinned, with long straight black hair and light blue eyes. (I look black except for my eyes and straight hair) Anyone asks me what are you? I tell them I am Black, both my parents are black. My sister who is darker than I am has green eyes, and goldish hair and she is the afro-centric?? type of female. Who gets offended when asked the question "What are you"... I know my roots. I know I am black I don't need to sugarcoat anything. Yeah maybe there is mixed blood there, but aren't we all....?
So... Im wondering, for those who are mixed. When asked that question. How do you respond?
& In general, for someone who is mixed, is it wrong for them to claim just on race? Or should both or all cultures be embraced?
Open topic though! ....
