Do you ever claim one side over the other? If so, is it an identity preference or just for convenience' sake?

Do you lean towards one side more than the other?

And for everyone if they feel so inclined, how would you plan to handle racial identity with your biological kids?
Especially if they're of additional ethnicities.

I claim my black side more than my white one

And i can't really give a specific reason, i just identify more with black issues, cause i feel like i'm still discriminated

but tbh, both sides descriminate me or don't claim me, so i guess i'm really just stuck in the middle..

iClaimBlack even though I look more Middle Eastern

I'm black and latina and claim both equally. But !! being black feels so much more pronounced until my family or census-type situations get involved.

I'm not even really mixed (I look mixed, and I guess that I'm not full black, because my close ancestry [a few generations] goes back to Native American & Caucasian as well) but people still think I am and nobody wants me.

I generally claim black because I appear more black than I do white. But, I get more flak for acting "too white" by a lot of black people, so I choose not too associate myself too much with my race.

I'm French, Spanish (Spain) and Moroccan.
I am pressured to pick a side all the time. That's what annoys me...like if I say I am "mixed" i always get the question "but what do you feel more like?" ..what if I just feel like all three? But I suppose because I do speak fluent French and I do speak Darija one could say that I am closer to my French and Moroccan heritage then I am my spanish heritage (I speak kid level spanish lol).

I don't make my race much of an issue unless people ask. It's odd because I obviously look more black than I do white (even though I am very light-skinned), but I don't really identify much with black culture at all. I grew up with the white side of my family and don't talk to the black side. The majority of my friends are white. I went to a largely white high school and an almost entirely white university.

First, I'm not sure if I'm getting kids... Not everyone wants children in the *normal* sense of the word. My brother can be my child(ren). I hope not everybody is forced to follow the heterosexual, reproductive line. Generations come in all sorts of forms...

As for the race question: I usually say "I am a person of colour" or "I'm mixed." I tell about my French side and Moroccan side. Sometimes I like keeping things mysterious, to come off as mysterious This is a preference of mine (I like intimacy), but deep down I identify my Frenchness and Moroccanness. There's more to me than race and colour, so I make sure to emphasise how my race -- the sum of all my values -- is about who I am, as a person, because I also identify as a person and human. So, the race question is complicated. What do we mean when we talk about race? What do we mean when we talk about identity, identify formation, and ethnicity? Is ethnicity a better formulation? I am lost, when it comes to talking about my identity. I guess this is what being a hybrid looks like, for me. The in-betweenness can be tricky. It's ambivalence
