Explaining my race
It's kinda frustrating.

I'm black but very light skinned. I am the lightest one in my family(household wise anyways). People at school always puzzled at my race. Some mostly think I'm Puerto Rican, some think I'm half white, someone said I was Indian one time lol

Technically I am like 1/4 or 1/5 white. My great grandfather from my moms side was half white because he's dad was white. I don't know about my dad's side though. He doesn't have many light skinned people in his family. Anyways I came out white and when I tell people that I am black and only like 1/4 white they don't believe me. I tell them that both of my parents are black and they look at me like "WTF?". I always tell them "Look at this hair, does it look white to you?" xD.

When I was born I was lighter than I am now and my eyes used to be Gray.

yeah, people have really narrow ideas of race and always want to put me in one box or another. It's hard to explain too that how you identify your race isn't just how people perceive you, it's also the culture you come from.

Yeah, I have the same problem...so I just stopped explaining.  I hate when people think like that.  a person's race manifests itself differently in everyone.

You have Caucasoid traits.

I guess you got the more dominant Caucasoid traits and the less dominant Negroid ones.

Good job - you're mixed.

That's what I try to tell people but they are like " No you are very light".
