Well heck dpen6, maybe you are AA too...LOL! My kids asked "why" years ago and were told what the hospital social worker told us at the births; just as the dads last name is put in place as the kids last name, so is his race! We fought to have them listed as biracial but were told our only option was to check "other" on the form because there wasn't a biracial box to check. Heck, we thought checking "other" should be reserved for aliens from other planets, so we didn't. My son was once denied a job because he refused to list himself as a member of a minority on the application; it seems they need to hire some. In his words to do so would negate his dads role in his life. By the same token(pun intended) he had his 1st baby 5 weeks ago and despite her mom being the color of this font the baby's race is listed as yep...you got it Cc, because her father who isn't is also listed as Cc. My grand daughter is similar to Halle Berry in color but unlike Halle she is Cc....according to the state of Texas....LOL I guess in Texas they really DON'T see color.....Missy M
