    Honestly Huey is wrong. Neither group accepted me as one of them while I was growing up.

      I personally have no experience with this, being white, but knowing black, and mixed folk that was my take away as well.

      Completely different to the deep racial discourse of ‘black’ but having a nonitalian last name but a large Italian family influence and friends was weird because I thought I was Italian but all those kids wanted to make sure I knew I wasn’t just because of my last name. Super weird.

    I can’t find it now but this reminds me of a fucking Family Guy gag of all things

    "Oh boy, now that everyone knows I’m biracial, both races will love me equally!

    With that skin tone, she should be considered white. Then again, 'muricans will call people with white-ish skin anything but white if they’re not from the “right” white places.

      I think that’s what Huey’s getting at, in line with “one-drop” rules. “Society” considers half black = black.
