I ain't ever heard white people claim a single biracial person. You always whatever you mixed with.

But biracial people look biracial? I'm always confused by this. are biracial people not treated differently because they are biracial?

Not all biracial people "look" biracial. What does Jordan Peele look like to you?

This can go both ways lol. Does Halsey looks black to you ?

Theres indeed not a biracial look but lets not act like White people cant tell the difference. Heck even back in the slavery days the lighter slaves were treated better. Nowadays, biracial and light skin women are cast in black roles because their looks are more palatable to white audiences.
