For parents of a mixed family , how does your child identify ? This has been a big question between…

I don't know anything about it at all but my guess would be black because there's two black parents but not two Mexican??? Maybe? Idk lol

my daughter identifies as native american& filipina ( I'm native american and filipina and he bio dad is full Mexican). and my son will be the same since his dad is Mexican & Filipino

I'm black and white and I identify as biracial. Why do you only identify as Mexican?

at the hospital they told me my son is Mexican because his dad is Mexican and it doesn't really matter what my race is...Idk how true that is but just my experience

@marie_xo, it's not that I only identify as Mexican it's that that's what I grew up around . Ya know? Like so I would find myself saying Yeah I'm Mexican not realizing oh shoot I'm not just that . That's all I was ever told that I was until I got older .

well im black and white and i identify as mixed.. and i will teach my kids thr same thing.

@anisesoline, the problem with that is that My side of the family is saying One race and his side of the family is like She isn't Mexican and so we arE both getting opinions from them when we don't ask for them and it's making us clash .

Interesting question...my boyfriend identifies as black although it's assumed he's white/Hispanic. It's quite likely my son will identify as black.

that's gonna be tough on me too cause I'm black Jamaican but the father is Puerto Rican and Irish

Im white and my daughters dad is black/white I been wondering the same thing

yes being mixed people will always try to tell you what you are, or what you should identify as. Smh like my baby's father is black, & I'm half white and half black. I'm gonna make sure my baby knows that race isn't important but if she wants to identify then she is mixed. Were all mixed with something!

I'm half black and half white. I dont necessarily identify as either. MY dad(black) always had us select other on race and put human because that's precisely what we are. and if I have to write a racial profile down I put biracial

@tae love your answer. Human ❤ My daughter is white and native american My plan is to teach her she is a human.
