Any Mixed race people here?

[Quartercan American]

Can't say I am really. I'm 100% Caucasian with some Irish ancestry that goes way back.

 

Being of a mixed racial background is something to be quite proud of though.

Yes very true, Im proud of being mixed, even though some people criticize me for saying im mixed,

[nightwalker83]

I'm mainly black and white but have mexican, italian, french, and german thrown in. My mom is the one with the all kinds of white lol.

 

Even though my dad is mostly black, nobody ever thinks I look black. Which is fine by me 

Thats like my mom, Her father was black with a some indian, But her mom never tells us what she is, She could be italian or something

My step mum is quarter Italian after she found out her mum was the product of her nanna's romance with an Italian POW.

Why are you criticized?

[JOSEPH X]

100% white. Scots-Irish on my dad's side, English on my mum's. With the geographical isolation of the British Isles, and that part of the world being an exporter of people for hundreds of years, you would have to go back centuries to find a Roman or Viking ancestor of mine. Even then they would be white.

[Eutyphro]

I'm pretty sure everyone is mixed race

there's not a single person on Earth who is 'pure' in their racial lineage.

my father is completely white for generations, I don't think there is anything else in him, Not in a prideful way of course

So being pure is not prideful? explain

[lartez]

I'm 100% white but I don't like black people (not racist).

[TheDavid]

100% Jordanian! Proud of it, but I'd still be proud of my ethnicity any which way. Culture is incredibly important in shaping who a person is.

[Dope.]

I'm 15% Puerto Rican, 50% Italian, and 35% Irish.

While Ethnicity is self-identified, and essentially can be anything, "Jordanian" is not currently a recognised ethnic group.

 

Technically, Jordan did not exist prior to 1946, when it was Trans-Jordan. It was after the war with Israel in 1948 that it became Jordan.

While I fully support people's right to identify their ethnicity as whatever they want, choosing an ethnicity that your grandparents wouldn't have ever heard of is rather silly.

 

Most Jordanians are Arabs - is that what you are?

If so, I am interested in what makes you feel distinct and inherently different from other Arabs, or are you just ashamed like many others I met?

75% Caucasus and 25% Asian.

[johnny_zoo]

No but seriously I'm rather positive everybody somewhere along their family lineage have different races mixed together at one point or another..

 

 

Even though I'm white as a rainbow my great great great grandmother was a native American. Everybody is going to be of a mixed races. You might as well post a thread asking who has a access to the internet..

I'm not. I live in West Europe and I'm pure white. We still have ethnical purity over here Lol, that sounds so fascist.

Tell me about. It must be nice living someplace where most people resemble each other and share the same culture. Unlike in the US where we have "racial" issues, and so many people are a mish mash, and talk about how many different dicks their ancestors had in them like it's something to brag about.

Someone sounds bitter over racial mixing. So you're against interracial dating I take it.

Im criticized because I am only 25% black, and I have blueish eyes. Plus my skin changed over time It got lighter, a lot of people I encounter would just throw a fit if I say Im mixed race instead of white

50% white 50% green

You misunderstood. When I said Not in a prideful way, I didn't want to come off as racist or arrogant by saying my Dad's fully white, I didn't want people to take it the wrong way

lol, just kidding. But saying your dad is all white isn't arrogant. Neither is saying he is all black, or all chinese..

 

I'm colorblind to race though. I just know I'm white because I dance with my thumbs out.

[UberChargedCJ]

im of hungarian ethnicity at mom and grandma's side polish at grandpa's side and romanian at father's side

As far as I know I am 100% human. That is how I like to identify who I, and my fellow humans are. If we were to find other forms of life in our galaxy however, then I would upgrade my status to milkywayian.

It's a stupid f*cking point. If you don't understand why black pride is needed and white pride is bigoted then you're probably not understand the history of the human race.

Everybody understands the history and the racism. But why should blacks be able to say "I'm proud of being black" and whites shouldn't be able to say "I'm proud of being white"? That's bullsh*t.

Self affirmation. It's a subconcious way of a person of black skin colour that despite the white dominated world they live in that they acutally are a worthy part of society and that they do matter. This sort of stuff has become less relevant however since the 60's, hence why 'black pride' parades have vastly decreased. It's the same with gay pride and things like that which are still rather common.

 

White pride parades however are useless. A white person does not need to affirm that they have a valid place in society because they are society. White pride is usually synonymous with white power, involving skin heads making fascist salutes.

 

Any white man who isn't into dipping his pen into different colours clearly hasn't met the right brown skinned girl yet.

 

 

The very first slave owner in the US was a black man anyway, a former indentured servant himself.

 

Right, and one of the high ranking members of the Nazi party was a Jew. Your point being?

Pride parades are a different thing. They are for equal rights. That's a different issue and not what I meant. I agree there should not be white pride parades because white rights are not in danger (maybe some day in the far future when racial mixing has gone very far they will though..).

 

Though obviously the word combination 'white pride' is tainted because of all the racists that use it, and nobody would want to be associated with 'white pride'.

 

If black people should be proud of being black, and whites aren't allowed to, then that's like saying white people should be ashamed in comparison. And though I'm not 'proud' of being white because I think pride in general is a stupid emotion when it comes to race considering race is not something that is related to free choice, I am definitely not ashamed either.

 

The best thing is if people start defining themselves as individuals and not according to what race they. It's good for everyone to demand equal rights, but segregation is bad.

 

And saying white people 'are society' is offensive to non white people. Colored people are society too. And 'dipping your pen into different colors' has nothing to do with what we are discussing..

What I am saying is that black pride is a form of self affirmation. Parades were just an example of this.

 

I'm not saying that, I'm saying what I just said. It's saying to the rest of society that you are worthwhile, it doesn't really have anything to do with actual pride. I agree, I don't think you should be proud or ashamed of a birth trait.

 

I agree, but until that day comes (which it probably never will) then this sort of thing is necessary for a healthy society.

 

You're missing my point. When a cultural movement occurs it is generally absorbed by the dominant group in that society, with some exceptions.

 

It was a joke, sorry if you didn't find it funny. Though it is relevant, one or two bigoted people in this thread were talking about how race mixing is not cool.

[The_Real_Deal]

"Bigot'' is such an oversused word. Valuing racial integrity is not synonymous with supremacism. Not that supremacism in certain contexts is unwarranted in itself. People dipping they're pens into inks they don't belong is how this racial obsession began in the first place.

[Max]

 

Valuing racial integrity

These comments shocked and saddened me. Racial integrity is nothing to be 'valued' because it means absolutely nothing. If something is devoid of meaning then it cannot be deemed worthy. Explain why you feel racial purity bears any meaning or worth? Prove to me it means anything.

 

 

People dipping they're pens into inks they don't belong

 

This too is simply horrific. What on earth do you mean by 'belong'? Do you feel a misguided, oafish sense of ownership over all people who happen to share your ethnicity? If you do, is it your belief that we should all feel this same abstract sense of belonging? A skin tone or ethnic background is not something you possess.

No.. The 'racial obsession' was caused because before mass migration by slavery people were used to the fact that everyone in their environment shared their skin color. Which is why in the 19th century even among leading philosophers racism was the standard.

 

The rest of your comment is without supporting argument.

Nothing I can say about that would change how you feel about it, or make sense to you. Our ideals are just on opposite poles, that's all. I'm not trying to convince you of anything, simply stating a difference of thinking. Likewise there is nothing you could say to make me feel bad for thinking the way I do.

 

I understand in this day and age we're all supposed to look at each other as all one, which ultimately we are. But we as humans are also separated into groups who are indeed different. I suppose anyone who doesn't appreciate that, has never felt the luxury of having a group. Which has less to do with 'ownership' as you state, than it does with belonging. Take that how you like, but there is no reason for you to be shocked or saddened by my words. I'm a good person who appreciates all good people.

@The_Real Deal: I'd rather see humanity become one group that moves forward with a common goal. Why would you want to see humanity as something split up in different groups? Differences in interest between people are one of the main causes of social and political problems. Groups cause differences in interest. So groups dissolving should be a goal.

 

Racial groups dissolving doesn't have to be done by racial mixing per se, but easier would be to just start seeing each other as individuals in stead of as white or black.

I gather you're not in the US. I can't speak for other places, but many blacks in the US - I might even say most, separate themselves. They identify themselves as black, and may even criticize other blacks they do not deem as acting "black enough". Historically, they've sought equal rights, while seeking special treatment at the same time. And still hold a grudge for being made slaves of over a hundred years ago. It's almost impossible to assess black culture in America honestly without sounding like bigot. The city of Detroit, which is almost entirely run by blacks today, is a classic example of a great city gone to ruin.

 

And that's without even mentioning the other cultures who inhabit the US. Other nations probably find it odd the Americans are hung up on race, and maybe it is. But it's brought about through various groups of people who want what they want, and will not compromise. We're still learning to coexist, and maintain our identities, without stepping on each other's toes. Everyone has their own ideas, and level of evolution, so that may never happen. So the best you can do is find people who are like yourself, and who share your ideals, and stick with them. Which is what humans have always done. We are all tribal and seperatist to some extent.

So black people ran Detroit into the ground and serve as a good example of what happens when blacks are the majority or are in charge?
