Time Magazine has a really great article:
 |
| Boris Kodjoe |
 |
| Alicia Keys |
 |
| Kimora Lee |
It was a long but easy read. In a nutshell I believe what has happened is that, that golden rule of 1 drop of black - "you black" - has taken affect. So now, according to the article, most biracially mixed Americans are identifying more with being black. They identify by choosing ethnic clothes, music, language, etc.
Good to know, but hopefullly at some point, our world will stop 'identifying' with things - ethnicity, sexuality, ect. and we all can say what Popeye says, "I yam, that I yam!"
