Please specify why you answered the way you did on the previous question.

I think it's harder for biracial children to be able to identify with any one race. I'm white, and I identify with that. Biracial children may not feel this identity. Then again, they may not mind that.

Do you feel as though you may have a better relationship with someone outside of your race?
