    Yes that is so dumb to me if you say people of color we know 9/10 that color is brown and yet call someone colored...oh no he didn't.

    I mean I get the distinction but we are all colors if you want to get right down to it.

    My niece is mixed but you can't tell she is black mostly she looks Mexican like her mom's side.

    You can't tell my husband or daughter are Native. Should we put stickers on them so you know how much priviledge we each have percentage wise? Clearly that is the only fair way to know how to treat us right?

      My brother's wife literally immigrated to the US from Mexico as a young child.

      There are white people in Mexico

      Half the people at their wedding didn't speak any English.

      Speaking English doesn't have anything to do with race.

      My sister's best friend is half Korean

      What's the other half?

      My wife is 1/8th Blackfoot

      What's the other 7/8?
