As I stated in class last week, I am not biracial. I have never had to deal with the so called "choosing" that many biracial people do face. This topic truly interests me especially because before these past few classes I never really thought about what decisions biracial people have to make. I couldn't imagine what that is like having to even consider choosing, being forced to choose, or even not choosing. Which brings me to my next point...when it comes to choosing, is it easier to not choose or just to choose? I like hearing the opinions and stories of people in class that have been in this situation or dealt with situations like these because it gives me more insight on the topic. By talking about this subject for the past few classes has opened my eyes to something that is quite frequent in today's society but I had never really took the time to think about it. Not knowing the effects of being biracial certainly makes it not at the top of my list to consider but having the opportunity now to think about it is very interesting.
