Jazmine: I resent racial categories! Why must I be forced to choose between parents?!!! Huey: I understand, Jazmine. I'm mixed, too. Jazmine: You are? Huey: Absolutely. I'm part black, part African, part Negro, and part colored. Jazmine: WHat?!! Huey: Poor me, I just don't know where I fit in... Jazmine: You're making fun of me!!!!

Bi-racial might be a good term. Or just plain old “Human.”

Would be nice to not have to think in terms of race, but enough people do that it’s still a thing.
