This is an interesting interview. Mixed seems to be defined by default that one’s immediate family (mom & dad) makes one “mixed” or not. Many people are mixed by grand parents or great grandparents as well. A lot of this person’s experiences are similar to “non- mixed” people (by immediate family defined standards). I hate to say this cliche’ but we really are more alike than we are different. Lots of races code switch, lots of races don’t always feel accepted by their race or the race they identify with. I wonder if “mixed” people realize that their experience really isn’t that unique. Their experience is everyone’s plight cuz no one is 100% one ethnicity.
This is such a refreshing interview, thanks to both "of you" for sharing. I hope it finds its way in becoming primary source material for the study of dispelling stereotypes and enumerating integration (or the like), as clearly and eloquently as J.A. explains herself.
White people don’t deserve the right to tell anyone what their role in society should be the sad part of American culture in Canada we we’re brought up differently we were taught at a young age what respect and loyalty means and as a 56 year old white guy you have an deserve mine / our respect as a human not a colour
It’s said that god creates beautiful things saying out side the box he went over the top when you were created ty for the reads cheers 🇨🇦🌹🇨🇦
Instead of trying to insist on getting the few roles that are for women of limited color, why not just go after roles for 'white' women? You are white passing and you purposely darkening your skin doesn't make any sense.

The contradictions are all over the place.

Why can't you just be white?
