Well in my case precisely because I took a DNA test I'm white 65white 22black 13native and I do consider myself mixed. I'm not as white as everyone else from my family but I'm clearly not black either. even tho my grandmother was mixed with native and black my father came out white because my grandfather was white too. My mother's family everybody's white. My grandmother already passed away .. so I was basically raised in white family. Why am I telling you all of this? When you are a bit mixed with something it's going to be with whom from your family that you were raised with that will kind of mold your mind to indentify at certain way... I have seen someone 1/8Black? And came out a bit brownish and identified himself black. A lot of ppl don't like to "accept" the term mixed. But sometimes if you are a bit mixed to something or if your family is mixed with more than 2 races you rather identify yourself as mixed :)
