Too white to be mixed race!

I still don't understand why people called a mixed race person 'black' who born to white mother and black father. Is it because this person didnt have other 50% of white skin?? Make it sound like it damaged a 'normal' skin, so they call them black(!) Could be worser, 'skin impaired'. An old woman might tell her granddaughter 'Oh my God, your new baby is Dark! Sell it to Africa!' Actually it happened to other families, when the white women had having sex with black men to end up being pregnant without her parent knowing, afterward they hit the roof. It often hapened in the past. Alot of change now.

I don't call a mixed race person 'black'. I see them as black and white, for my written English - 'mixed race man'. '(point) man, black white mix' for BSL.

Knowing most white people (Deafies too) call the mixed race 'coloured', which is a racist word. That word bloodly creeped me out, even now! F*cking hell! Most white British people is not really white, their generations could be South-Asian, East European or other races.

I often read articles in newspapers or internet, it says 'first black blah blah blah...' Huh(!)

Colin Jackson is white too
Tiger Wood is Vietnamese too
Obama is white too
Rio Ferdinand is white too

Of course, alot of mixed race would like to call themselves 'black' because of their black identity, black community, culture and history etc. So they strongly feel their identity is black that is it. Other even consider themselves as white, depend on where they raised and lived socially. In the UK, alot of mixed race pupils with confusion of identity and belong to who, has been bullied at schools.

British people are most intelligent among other nations, maybe but simple math - black and white equals mixed race (not grey!)

We need more awareness on this.
