this might sound weird maybe it's because of where i grow up? i don't think i get treated much differently for being mixed i mean i know i do because people are always careful to try not to offend me. but i guess i know a good number of mixed people. but it's obvious that im mixed i dont look black and i dont look white ( sorry if those terms offend anyone) but i looked completely mixed till in 5th grade where i almost broke my nose so now i have a wide-ish nose but i look like the classical mixed person or what people think of-yellow tinted skin, hazel/light brown eyes, good hair, hair that lightens in the summer, and features of both races. every once in a while i get some grief about it that i dont fit in here or here. i remember one time some guy said he would never date a "white" girl because he doesn't believe in intreracial relationships and doesn't think they work out and almost everyone turned to me and i was just like "so..you KNOW im mixed right? and you know about 4 other people in this room are RIGHT?" and it just seemed like he didnt care which makes me wonder if im going to run into trouble later. but maybe it's growing up near military bases but i never even knew there was a movement for biracial people =\ everyone around here is every color of the rainbow lol you walk through the mall and see mixed people, asians, caucasians,african-americans, arabs,hispanics it's just a mix of people and for the most part people are accepting. but if there IS a movement then i'd like to get more info on it if anyone has some =]]
