I love your aricle. It is a subject that is very near to my heart, coming from South Africa. Truth be told, even if your skin is lily white, if your family has been in South Africa for many generations, you are "mixed". My best friend is "mixed" race, and has a husband whose racial classification is not the same as hers. My son's best friend is black, my daughter's friend is Indian. We are all people with different skin tones, but the same heart. All these amazing people are my family, and racial classification according to "society" is.....pathetic.
