Nobody sees – does being mixed matter?

Rachel Weygand.

I am 3/4 white and 1/4 black. I was adopted as a child by a white family. I have never felt like anything other than their daughter, and although some people can tell that I’m mixed, most people can’t. I have been growing closer to my biological half-brother, who is my same age but 3/4 black and 1/4 white. I’ve been weighing our different life experiences, knowing that ‘not showing’ has given me an advantage, and also wondering what it means to be mixed if nobody else sees it.
