I do.
It even comes up in how people treat me, now, without fear, in how they relay messages, but it's not as bad in Cleveland as it is in Orlando. People just want to say they didn't lie and say they had no problems with my race. Still, some people say they aren't really racist, so there'd be people for me to talk to and I wouldn't be considered weird, or left out.
I've had a few mixed race friends over the years and the way I always put it is: They have a chip on both their shoulders.
shareNo, not at all.
All of my black friends think I’m cool.
Can you clarify? Are you saying it's a problem for other people, hence the issue that's actually the problem is racism? Or are you saying you find it a problem for yourself? And why?
I'm bi-racial, and it hasn't seemed to come up as an issue for others or myself.
It's usually a problem for people who need to be validated for seeming "good enough" to be considered White racially, maybe not a specific kind of "European."

shareI think I'm even more confused.
Are you saying it's a problem of internalized racism experienced by bi/multi-racial people who don't feel good enough because they're not distinctly European looking, or it's just regular racism coming from people who don't treat them as good enough because of this? Also not sure how it's a problem outside of racism just being a problem.
People who are mixed race and don't look as European aren't a threat to attractive people but still do not get what they need, like when anyone doesn't feel as good as others. No one of mixed race has it good, no matter how good they look and some really do look good. For mixed Asians, it's about looking European. For mixed Middle Easterners, they may find they are not mixed race.
