Half black, nobody knows or cares

Peter Nanula,

I look white and was raised in mostly white areas, so no one knows I am half-black. Because they don’t know, they don’t make racial judgments. This feels hopeful – as we inter-marry (like my parents did) and integrate our society, bias and discrimination go away over time. We all become partly racial or ethnic, and then no one is “other” anymore.
