Or waiting to use an ATM. Or chatting at a dinner party. Then it happens again. Some stranger sidles up to him and asks, &#8220;What are you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Many guess that Jungblut, who has black curly hair, dark brown eyes and caf\u00c3\u0192\u00c2\u00a9-au-lait skin, is Hispanic. Others assume he&#8217;s African-American.<\/p>\n<p>He is neither. He is black and white, his mother an immigrant from Jamaica, his father an American of German ancestry.<\/p>\n<p>Jungblut is one of 7 million Americans who said they are of mixed race, a swelling wave of relatively recent homogenization that manifests itself in fusions of physical features &#8211; such as the dark brown skin and arched eyes of golf star Tiger Woods, whose father is African-American and mother is Thai &#8211; and in the chaotic blend of language, food and music in a Japanese-Italian home in Ridgefield.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The reporter here continues the myth that Hispanics are a separate &#8220;race&#8221; and not themselves multiracial. Hispanics are just multiracials with political power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not as simple as black and white Sunday, November 21, 2004 By ELIZABETH LLORENTE STAFF WRITER Jonathan Jungblut might be standing in a bodega checkout line.
