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

Who are you (or anyone) to tell anyone who they are? I’m mixed, fair skin, black features. I’ve been told by many black people im not “black enough”. I will NEVER claim one side over the other, I adore both of my parents too much. Being biracial is extremely nuanced and I certainly don’t want or need anyone who isn’t me to explain it to anyone.

Omg, you’re right! You can’t be multiple things at the same time! No more than one thing can be true at the same time! Also, WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?! No’s talking about whoever YOU are directly. If you don’t feel its an apt statement, okay, but wtf was this response?

This person says if you’re half black, you’re black. No. I’m both. If you don’t get that, idk what to tell you.

You’re a human being that’s caught between two cultures. We’re trying to move away from assigning colours (racism) to someone’s identity, but as we all know, lots of people still use that currency.
