I guess I fit in your generalization that white people can't guess the races of people of mixed race.... I took this quiz http://racerelations.about.com/library/bl_racequiz.htm and only got 4 right out of 16
Wow that was really interesting, i only got 6 right, i had the biggest problem with deciding whether they were mixed asian or mixed native american/ hawain. Where do you find these things, keep em coming i like those little quiz things.
i got 4 too well... everybody noticed my b/f is 1/4 native american besides me lol. i guess i'm not good at guessing lol.
Your Score: You got 8 right out of 16 questions, for a score of 50 percent. It's tougher than it looks! I'm surprised how tough it was. I did ok I guess
Your Score: You got 7 right out of 16 questions, for a score of 43 percent. It's the first time I felt like a flunking score was "pretty good"! LOL.

yeah I got 6 out of 16 , but my point was that white people generally cant recognize a biracial person if that person is partly black...not that fact you can guess what the exact ethinicities are...no one can do that I dont think...it is probably b/c as black folk we are more familar with our characteristics....for if a mandarin chinese was mixed with north korean, I probably would only think he was chinese...but i just think it is funny that if a person is half black and half white...a white person would mostly always say that person is black
I can agree with that it might be easier for black folk because they're more familiar with their characteristics. But that first girl who was mixed black and white, with the long curly blond hair I though she was white! I should have gotten 5 right, but I missed one dude on there and it was stupid, lol, I knew the right answer but I clicked on the wrong answer. :smt092 LoL
Almost!! I grew up in Nogales Arizona, it's a border town with Nogales Sonora Mexico, today it is so Mexican that if you aren't bilingual or at least speak Spanish you can't even function there. They even signed Hwy 19 between Nogales and Tucson in metric. It's 90 kilometers to Tucson.
9 out of 16 for 56%. Yeay. And I wasn't even born in the USA. The difficult ones are the people with lots of mix. And, I don't know the comment made by SirNice and that Britty is responding to - but, a lot of AA are mixed way back anyway, so a "Biracial person" may be darker than a "Black" person, who has two black parents (but is obviously mixed way back)....A Biracial person is probably much more used to and ok with being thought of as black than a black person would be if they were constantly referred to as being Biracial. That chick with the blonde curly hair probably just accepts that she is thought of as white, because that's what she looks like...
