Comment in question Growing up triracial Written by drvest , on 11-07-2007 22:40 javascript:ac_smilie(%22 %22) I agree that it si nto easy growing up biracial or triracial (I am Black, Indian, Euro) in this racist society. I think many monoracial parents who marry interracially and have mixed children don't address the issues that arise for their children enough. I used to think it was just my parent's generation but I now know other people who have gotten married in the last twenty years are similarly clueless about what their kids go through. As a child my sisters and I used to get beat up by both Black and white kids. When I started to spend more time going to Indian events, I encountered suspicion from urban Indians, many of whom were not "fullblood" either but were mixed with white. It is not easy being mixed in thsi racially stratified society. We are often asked to make impossible choices.
