Biracial. Which box do I check?

As a biracial child growing up in the mid 60’s I remember agonizing over school forms where you were asked to check ONE box. Recently, while filling out employment papers for a large corporation, I encountered this again. My first reaction was anger that “check only one box” was still being used on these forms. Then I remembered the race card story I had listened to on NPR.
