    Technically I am biracial. My dad is a white guy, but very few people I've met can discern that I'm not 100% Chicano, so I just roll with it. When inquired of it, I'll name every single ethnicity within me (Mexican, Cuban, French, Scottish, etc.) instead of saying 'Hispanic and White.' I like to be considered 'all of the above.' However, I cannot choose one over the other because I'd be shortchanging half of my entire heritage. I am a blended individual, and every bit makes up that which is me, at least in a superficial genetic sense. If I marry a girl who is black, then the kids will be triracial. And their kids will probably be multiracial, etc. etc. I think multiracialism is a good thing, because it seems to be the one force in the country, if not the world, that has the potential to effectively dissolve our concepts of race and thus create a truly 'colorblind' society.
