What I'm most curious about is how geography and parenting shapes people's attitudes on race.

For example, as my mom is Norweigian and my dad is black, so it would be silly of me to be mistrustful of either side. By the same token, there are issues when one is mixed that are somewhat unique. For example, people's use of the "N" word towards me seems a bit strange because I'm only 1/2 black.

Thoughts?
