re: Do you say "Black" or "African American"?

It's nothing I set about doing to make a point. I just never liked the word "mixed" and though, historically, they'd be considered black, they're actually less than half (my mother was actually biracial as well, and I'm sure there was some of that old style hanky-panky on my dad's side of the family since he always looked kind of Asian.) My brother had them listed as black on the BC over his in-laws objection, and I'm sure that's how they'll mark the census. I guess I'd do the same in a similar situation.
