Transcript:
Jazmine: Most people don't understand what it's like being different. Like... I once saw a yellow flower right in the middle of a bunch of red roses... Everything around it was either green or red, and here was this yellow flower. It looked lonely. That's what it's like being biracial. I'm different from everyone else. My mom and dad say that makes me special. But I just think it's lonely... Huey: Jazmine? Jazmine: Yes. Huey: You're black. Get over it. Jazmine: Ohhh, be quiet - Nobody was talking to you anyway. Hmmmph.

According to ye olde racist standards, anyone with a drop of “black” blood IS “black”.

Seems today One can pick their gender every morning while getting dressed why must mixed race people be tied to a 150-year-old SCOTUS decision? If Jazmin wants to be white, she is.

No, if she wants to say she’s bi-racial it’s none of your business.

I’m with Jasmin – why should someone define you? Especially if they have ulterior motives
GreggW Premium Member over 2 years ago
She’s Afro-European Huey, YOU get over it.

So by that standard, I’m Cherokee….cause my mom’s mom was full blood Cherokee, it doesn’t matter that the rest of the family was English/German…I’m quarter blood, so that makes me Cherokee…right?
