I'm not trying to be racist here, but from my own personal experience it's nothing great.
I'm of white and south european descent (italy), and when I was going through school, I couldn't really hang out with the white guys as they thought I was a 'wog' (although I have even been called a jew and even an arab at one point), and the european guys thought I was to white skinned to hang out with them.
When you look at the current trends there seems to be this push form interracial mixing, but in reality the groups tend to hang with their own, and those caught in the middle stand in limbo.

What the hell?? By the definition of bi-racial I know of, you don't even qualify.
Which, I suppose, just shows that race is a myth, since ideas of it vary so much.

I don't really see how you're all that mixed, all european, right?
...but many comfortably hang out with whoever they want, across racial lines. I suggest finding people who don't care what race you are (regardless of what race they are).
And the push towards interracial mixing isn't so much of a push as getting rid of the pidgeon-holing and categorizing of everyone. More and more people are going to be mixed, so we might as well get rid of the stereotypes.

Being half-Italian doesn't make you biracial. Italian is a nationality, not a race. If the Italian parent is black, hispanic, asian or what have you, then you'd be biracial.
I have two biracial sons (caucasian/African-American), and they haven't had any experience with being rejected by either group. They have friends of a variety of races.

I like to be biracial but if I was a dork or ugly I would probably not have a good experience, but I don't think thats a race issue. Maybe you don't fit in cuz your a flaming moron. Who knows, too many variables.

There is nothing 'so great' about being biracial, nor is there anything great about belonging to only 1 race. It's all a matter of perception. I am biracial, by the way, and proud of it. If you're not, it doesn't matter to me. Actually, it doesn't matter at all.
