Thank you for sharing your story. I had been wondering how other people are dealing with and feeling about this issue. I experience the same for my son is biracial. Just like Mr. Washington mentioned in the interview with Michele, I have been standing firm and try to make a small change where I can. It still surprises me that we are still dealing with this type of issue in 21st century where many of us witness so many mixed (not only biracial but multiracial) individuals in our society. I am hoping that someday checking box will mean not so significant for meaning of us being human beings weighs more than the racial profiles.
