Aaron Foster was 3 years old the first time the question came.
"What are you?" asked the barber, out of earshot of his mother.
"I'm a boy," Aaron replied, bewildered. advertisement
"No, what are you? Black? Chinese?"
"I do gymnastics."
That exchange, in 1997, made Christina Cooper-Foster, the preschooler's Taiwanian-born mom, realize that issues of race haven't changed much. Cooper-Foster was raised by White adoptive parents in rural Florida in the 1970s, and the same hurtful queries and curious stares she got were now plaguing her son, who is mixed race.
"The good news is there are a lot more people who are different," said the 35-year-old single mom from Phoenix. "The bad news is there's still a mind-set that different is not good."
Her sons, Aaron, now 11, Ethyn, 5, and 3-year-old Eli, whose father is African-American, are among the estimated 4.5 million multiracial children younger than 18 in the United States. Given that interracial marriages nearly tripled to more than 4 million in 2000, from 1.5 million in 1990, these kids are the fastest-growing segment of the population. They also represent a large part of the mixed-race population, at 42 percent, according to a report released in April by the Census Bureau.
Yet, despite the popularity of multiracial celebrities such as Tiger Woods, Mariah Carey and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, mixed-race kids often are forced to choose one race over another but may not be welcomed by either.
They also are more likely to suffer from depression, substance abuse, sleep problems and various illnesses, according to researchers at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Their 2003 study of 90,000 U.S. adolescents found students who called themselves biracial were more likely to have sex at younger ages, access to guns and poorer experiences at school.
"It did not matter what races the students identified with," said J. Richard Udry, a professor of maternal and child health and lead researcher. "The risks were higher for all of them if they did not identify with a single race."
Udry concluded that multiracial children live with stress that their single-race peers do not.
"The most common explanation for the high-risk status is the struggle with identity formation, leading to lack of self-esteem, social isolation and problems of family dynamics in biracial households," he said.
Multiracial adolescents and teens often suffer through their high school years, wondering if they'll ever meet anyone who looks or is like them.
"Coming to college often is the first time they even get to meet with other people who shared their same experiences," said Michelle Porche, a research scientist at Wellesley Centers for Women in Massachusetts who recently did a pilot study about the development of racial identities. "They are finally with other people who are of mixed race and feel like they can form communities."
Donna Jackson Nakazawa, author of Does Anybody Else Look Like Me?, disagreed with Udry's results, saying the study's sample was too small. Parents of mixed-race kids have the power to change the outcome, Nakazawa said.
"Parents can help children make that essential leap from 'what's wrong with me?' . . . to 'what's wrong with them?' " she said. "Society is confused about who these people are."
Who are they?
They're people like Nathalie Conte, a past president of SIMBA - Students Identifying Multiracial and Biracial at Arizona State University - who helped host a mixed-race event last month on campus. Tempe was among 15 cities on the Generation MIX tour, aimed at focusing attention on the challenges of multiracial people. It ended Tuesday in Seattle.
Conte, a 22-year-old ASU senior, has a Black mother and a Caucasian father.
"The biggest issue is we have to choose our race on application forms, and it's kind of frustrating when you have to pick 'other,' because you don't think of yourself as 'other,' " she said.
Marva Whitaker recently went through that when she applied for a job at ASU. The 22-year-old Mesa resident, who is African-American and Caucasian, did not check a race box and got the job anyway.
One of Whitaker's younger brothers has asked her advice for dealing with the curious.
" 'What do I do when I get into a situation where race is an issue?' " said the green-eyed, curly haired woman. "It's odd. You would think in this day and age people would be more aware."
For the first time, the 2000 census allowed Americans to check more than one race box. Of the 281.4 million total population, 2.4 percent, or 6.8 million people, said they identified with two or more races. That population in the Phoenix metropolitan area is slightly higher, almost 3 percent.
Bobra Crockett-Doiron of Chandler, who is African-American, is raising two children with her husband, Daniel Doiron, who is Caucasian. The kids, Jacob, 5, and Joia, 4, are surrounded by mixed-race schoolmates and people at their church. Crockett-Doiron doesn't let questions or stares bother her, and she's already had conversations with her preschoolers about who they are.
"Jacob explained it to me when he was in preschool," she said. "He said that Daddy was pink and Mommy was brown and he was tan and Joia was more tan. He wasn't upset about it, nor did he make a big deal about it."
Tonya Gray is half Thai and part Native American, African-American and Caucasian. As a girl, her grandfather forbid Thai to be spoken, and although she tagged along to the Buddhist temple with her mother, she was raised Catholic. Her only exposure to Native Americans was in museums.
The 26-year-old Scottsdale resident attended high school in New Mexico, where she often was - and still is - mistaken for Mexican-American. She felt the most accepted by African-Americans.
"I was always accepted by the Black community, much more so than the White community," said Gray, expressing sadness that the Thai community doesn't recognize her at all because she's "not Thai enough."
But Gray, a co-founder of SIMBA, has found her comfort zone as multiracial.
"I'm mixed race. To me, that now is a community and a culture in itself," said Gray, whose boyfriend is Mexican-American. "My parents didn't raise me as mixed race because they wanted me not to worry about it. And of course, I did. I want my children to realize it doesn't define you, but it shapes your experience."
Growing up in Hawaii, Jason Skinner was in the majority as a mixed-race kid. The questions started when Skinner, who's Korean and Caucasian, moved to Arizona in 2001.
"Some guy came up to me and started speaking Spanish, and I'm like, 'I'm not Mexican!' " said Skinner, 22, who also is mistaken for Native American, Filipino and Eskimo.
Cooper-Foster's eldest son currently identifies as African-American because he doesn't see many Asian faces around him. She plans to take him to Taiwan one day and agrees her sons can benefit from being multiracial.
Citing the African proverb of it taking a village to raise a child, she said, "I get more than one village to raise my children. That's the power of diversity "

I don't like this idea of "mixed-race" category. I used to think it was ok but I really don't think so anymore.
See, the problem is that the category is based solely on color and it is fundamentally underlined by an ignorance of the natural diversity that already occurs in human populations without the mixing of various populations that have for a long time been isolated from each other.
I have kids who are light skinned (and I'm very dark in comparison) and I don't see them as a different race to me AT ALL. That is just an insane idea to me. I understand however (and would even take advantage of ) the fact that there are pros and cons attached to your color in this world but that's not because it should be so, it's because people of our current time are mighty stupid (generally).

The thread topic assumes there are races and that the Census proves it.
Imagine the census had no racial categories
The problem comes about from a society which insists that the answer to "what are you?" should be answered by categories other than nationality/profession/interest/religion.
The problem comes about from a society which insists that the answer to "what are you?" be answered on the basis of physical appearance.
So instead of addressing this problem the message is conform to society's stereotypes because it's easier

No it isn't. There is far more to racial typology than skin pigmentation. Races differ in craniofacial features, hair texture, bone structure, anatomical and many other phenotypic features (i have continued to expose these in my threads).
Someone who is mixed race is clearly defined by their hybrid physical features, more so than just them being a certian colour.
Please study physical anthropology. Furthermore your claim there is 'diversity' in races is wrong to the extent you are claiming. Negroids don't have straight hair, thin noses or straight jaws. Likewise you don't get Caucasoids with wooly hair and flat noses.
All the races have different morphologies and phenotypes.
The only people who deny this anthropological fact are self-hating blacks, because they hate their own racial traits.

All races evolved in isolation in tribes. Its therefore a natural tribal instinct to stick to ones own race.
Look at prisons when prisoners are forced into the closest prixinity to each other. What happens? In prisons we see the natural tribal instinct of racial seperation. The blacks, whites, mestizos, asians etc all work in their own gangs.

All races have different phenotypes. Negroids however are the only race who hates their own physical appearance and so they project this fantasy that black people are straight haired or orthognathic etc. Caucasoids and Mongoloids however never do this - we accept our racial traits. How many Mongoloids claim to have non-slanted eyes? How many Caucasoids claim to have flat noses and wooly hair? None do. At least none i have ever met on a forum. Blacks however are online repeatedly claiming phenotypic features are theirs, when they aren't. The only reason i can think for this is that they self-hate their own features and have a fantasy of how Caucasoids look (straighter hair, thinner noses etc) which are features they crave.

quote: The source is Cavalli-Sforza's book on the Pygmies entitled 'African pygmies' (Academic Press, 1986).
This work shows that Negroids mutated from an ancestral pygmy population around 9,000 BC in West Africa. So the 'true' Black African today is a recent mutation. Caucasoids and Mongoloids predate them. [Wink] Negroids only migrated into other parts of Africa during the Bantu expansion or slightly earlier. Prior to them, Caucasoids inhabited North Africa and Bushmen (Capoids) to the south who were displaced by the Caucasoids from the Mediterranean around 12,000 BC.
^^A bogus reference. Why should anyone take your word for it given past bogus references? Quote where Cavalli-Sforza says these so-called "negroids" "mutated" from Pygmies. The burden of proof is on you, since you made the claim.
While you scurry to cover your tracks with yet more bogus claims, Cavali Sforza, in his well known The History and Geography of Human Genes, 1994 Cavalli-Sforza summarizes his 1986 work on Pygmies and specifically debunks the "Pygmy as ancestor" theory held by other older writings. QUOTE:
"It remains difficult to pinpoint an ancient place of origin for the Negroid type which includes all West, Central and South Africans. Contrary to many earlier opinions, modern Pygmies and Khosians are not good candidates for a proto-African population."
--Cavalli Sforza et al, 1994. The history and geography of human genes. 194
SO much for your lying claims of "mutations" from "Pygymy" ancestors. In short, you lied about Cavalli-Sforza, creating a falsified claim and a bogus "supporting" reference to a claim that is nowhere supported in his work. You are once again exposed as yet another racist, who relies on bogus "evidence" to advance, dubious and debunked claims. You are not fooling anyone.
------------------------
YOu then tried to cover up your lie with even more bogus nformation and STILL fail
You "modified" your Cavalli Sforza claim by including page numbers, and then changing some wording to "adaptive radiation" hoping to divert attention from your exposure.. lmao..
However pages 361-362 of Cavalli Sforza's 1986 book says absolutely nothing about any Negroes "mutating" from pygmies, nor any "adaptive radiation." It merely discusses Pygmy history and geography. You picked out a page at random, not knowing it can be verified via Google Books. You were asked to provide a direct quote but are still running. Now why is that?
""It remains difficult to pinpoint an ancient place of origin for the Negroid type which includes all West, Central and South Africans. Contrary to many earlier opinions, modern Pygmies and Khosians are not good candidates for a proto-African population."
--Cavalli Sforza et al, 1994. The history and geography of human genes. 194
[/QB][/QUOTE]
--------------------------------------
And Your pathetic "modification" STILL turned out to be bogus. You then said:
[b]"True" Black Africans appear as a recent adaptive radiation apparently branching off from an ancestral Pygmy population — a line of ancestry also indicated by osteological data (Coon 1962:651-656; Watson et al. 1996).
^^But in fact, Watson 1996 has nothing to do with osteological data and does not even mention it. It has to do with mtDNA.
-------------------- Note: I am not an "Egyptologist" as claimed by some still bitter, defeated, trolls creating fake profiles and posts elsewhere. Hapless losers, you still fail.

No state, no church and no individual, has any business telling people who they can and can't marry and/or have kids with, (as long as they are both consenting adults and not too closely related- a proviso that would invalidate half the royal marrages of Ancient Egypt, incidentally). Ethnic supremacists who believe in racial purity need to learn the virtue of minding their own bisiness. Nor should there be any pressure or expectation for people of mixed race to identify more with one or other parent's race or culture, as though 50% of their genes cancel out the other 50%.

The goverment has forced multiracialism onto us and now it has got to the stage where the native white British are becomming extinct in key areas of the country.
Simply said misegenation leads to genocide. The only way to preserve your race is to seperate and oppose mixing between the races - otherwise you start to see the disappearance of races and racial traits.

This being the lightest (generally, there will be few lighter e.g.such as from the albinism phenomenon):
Majority (note that Jay-Z is a bit tanned here):
Darkest being these (my personal favorite, if I couldve chosen my color):
Of course there would also be some darker people than Denzel but they would be a minority (like the Whites).
I think the world is going to end up this way whether we like it or not anyway. The world-collective-mind I believe has already decided on this.

So who gets to be in charge of eliminating prejudice because of those colors?
I see your point Gru. My point though is, if everyone was pretty much the same color then maybe there wouldn't be color prejudice - which is a very simple insane type of prejudice. It's like selling all blue cars for $50,000 and saying all white cars are $5,000 even though some of those white cars are Rolls Royces.
My main reasoning though is I find racism to be caused mainly by people who feel threatened by color - so why not just remove the threat my making sure everyone has some? Also, I think very dark skinned people are often uncomfortable with their color (women especially).

''My main reasoning though is I find racism to be caused mainly by people who feel threatened by color - so why not just remove the threat my making sure everyone has some?''
Yet, the qualifier is ''maybe.'' The color agitation *is* sparked by variations in skin color. So, wouldn't it make sense to eliminate the darker skin hue as being the agitating factor by and from whites and to have everyone very dark, instead of variation in color schemes in the *hope* it will disappear?

^1. People within the same race differs in facial features, bone structure, skin color, hair texture and other phenotypes.
2. All humans are hybrids.

4. There is diversity in races with the black race having the most diversity in skin color, body structure, and facial phenotype.
5. Black people with Afro-textured hair do not have straight hair because it's AFRO-TEXTURED.
6. Black people hair differs from region to region, from tribe to tribe, from head to head.
7. The original indigenous groups from the Caucus region where short stocky build, with brown/tan skin, thick dark textured hair, and dark eyes. I do not know your belief in what "Caucasoid" is. Your Nordics and Western Europeans are from removed from a typical phenotypical "caucasoid."
8. You don't get many Africans and blacks with woolly hair and flat noses.
9. Every smart, critical thinking person will challenged a so-called anthropological fact if there are holes in the claim and when the contrary is evident and proven.
10. The only people who detest the diversity in blacks are self-hating whites because their numbers are limited and going the way of the dodo.

Negroids have the least physical diversity. We already covered this.

Negroids (Blacks) are only wooly haired. Some East Africans have straighter hair because they are partial Caucasoid, a fact proven via anthropology and genetics. The pure-blooded Negroid though is wooly haired (ulotrichous).
quote: I do not know your belief in what "Caucasoid" is. Your Nordics and Western Europeans are from removed from a typical phenotypical "caucasoid."
Caucasoid features of the crania can be summed up in general identifications as follows:
(a) leptorrhine (thin) prominent nose (Coon, 1939, 1962; Cole, 1965; Pearson, 1974; Hinderer, 1978; Brues, 1990) but a wide nasal septum (on average 4. 75 mm) because of the nasal cartilage supporting its shape (Schultz, 1913; Wilkinson 2004)
(c) heavy growth of facial and body hair (Coon, 1962; Pearson, 1985; Brues, 1990)
(d) pigmentation of skin hue ranging from pale white, ruddy-pink to a darker brunette-white or olive colour (Grant, 1916; Hooton, 1946; Coon, 1939; 1962; Pearson, 1985).
(e) The hair colour in Caucasoids also is incredibly diverse, ranging from fair to dark of all shades, red, auburn, brown, black and blonde (Taylor, 1949; Cole, 1965; Coon, 1982).
quote:8. You don't get many Africans and blacks with woolly hair and flat noses.
Negroids are wooly haired and flat nosed.
