You know there is really only one race, right?

The latest Gut Check America is on Multiracial America. It’s pretty interesting. Sometimes I wonder how my kids view their lives in the context of race. They have learned a lot about the history and culture of African Americans and Indians, and experienced a bit through their families, but I wonder how they will view things. How they will view their racial identities as adults. I won’t say we’re post-racial (nobody says that except white people, you ever notice that?), but I think my son’s generation is the beginning of the true end of the one drop rule. My son, Al, says he is African American and Indian. He is both. Period. Not half of anything. Just both. He has friends from all kinds of different cultures and some of them are mixed race too. As long as people exist and run things, there will be the urge to separate and cling to the familiar and be ignorant, so I am in no way in the dark about the ongoing evils of racial discrimination, but it is good to see progress every once in a while.
