Over to you: what to call your mixed race identity

The World

We turn the show over to you, with a topic that you’ve been talking about a lot this week: What do you call yourself, if you come from a mixed-race background? Is “biracial” okay, or is it just “black”? And what about other races or ethnicities? Keep the conversation going here or text START to 69866 to get involved every day.
