I live in the US where a lot of black people accept mixed people and like you said consider them black. I never really thought about it back then but now personally I think we should really stop doing this especially when biracial people consider themselves biracial and not fully black. |
Exactly, its mostly Black people who get offended when mixed people choose to identify as mixed.

I do not know if its a big deal in Belgium but from a personal experience i noticed a lot of xenophobia growing up in this country .
A big part of my own family is that way which is very conflicting for me and as a mixed person myself i had people not opening up and talking to me or plainly being mean till they heard me speaking in their own dialect, some of them even confessed they felt relieved i was no foreigner but that never felt as a compliment for me. :p Regularly i hear people talking about the foreigners that take their jobs or take their taxmoney,steal,cant be trusted and even worse i hear people cheer when a foreigner dies in an accident because "there's plenty of them" or "Its not one of us" or "those are worth less" .
I did go to an all white shool as one of the few colored kids there, i think 2 or 3 total and i must say i had a very hard time in my early years and only when i grew and could defend myself they turned into cowards and stopped bullying but a lot of kids back then had xenophobic tendencies probably partly inherited from parents.
I do not know about total statistic but from my own biased personal view i did witness a lot of negativity towards anything that looks or acts differently.

This is usually the case in mostly white or mostly black neighbourhoods.

Yeah outside the big cities there aren't much places with mixed people in this country and we do not have a lot of big cities.
