spelilingbeemaster :

Race is based on what you look like , that is why zendaya is considered black and why Halsey isn’t

Bee :

Race is a social construct based off of how society views your physical appearance. It’s not just your genetics but also your phenotype that factors in. I’m mixed but I identify as black because that is what I look like and that is how I will be treated in society.

⋆𝓁𝓎𝓃𝓃 ♱🦌☕️🩰 :

been wondering this my whole life and never been given a proper answer 😭

PhedraSyndelle :

Natalia :

As a 25% black and white race I identify as biracial

Cam Rneick :

Who tf cares if you black or white why tf r yall even talking about it

🧸 KamKam ｡^‿^｡ 🎀 :

Because race is based OFF OF WHAT YOU LOOKK LIKE, say it with me WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE, ethnicity has to do with statistics, RACE IS WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE

La Morena :

Because of slavery. Slavery still affects how we racially label other people.

liv ❤︎ :

Idk how to deal with stuff like this, I'm mixed, 50% black & 50% white but I usually just say I'm black, even tho I didn't grow up with my black father and around a black community, just my mom so I'm always confused what I should call myself 😓 I'm just here

Alicia Grey :

I’m proudly biracial.

ghjosn :

Bc of racists and the 1 drop rule. Will take forever to erase all that damage

makaveli_lover69 :

as a POC if u have 25% or more brown/ black herritage, ur mixed

Tttonwtmsdawcrwwta :

Because race is a social construct and you experience it mostly based on your phenotype

Jr :

why does the person have to be white or black why can't she just be jen

Ana’s little butterfly :

I think it’s because other countries base race on phenotype and in America the one drop rule was very present

Dede :

Yeah people usually assume I’m from South America or North Africa. I just say I’m mixed

Mali🫶🏽🐞 :

Because race is a societal construct and status, based on how you present to the world and your phenotypes because it’s based in white supremacy not science or genetics.

lia :

I’m just mixed and that’s it

T.🩷 :

Queen ARA :
