Hi!
[name]: Savannah
[where you live]: Indiana, United States
[siblings]: Two half-brothers, both white, but I consider them my brothers anyway.
[age]: 22
[what's it like being mulatto in your eyes]: It's like being interchangeable; about being everything. It's about counteracting the boundaries of race that society draws in between races.
[when and where did you first hear the word mulatto?]: Sometime when I was young. My father (who's black) said that I was one. I asked him what it meant, and he said it was about being two races. This was when I didn't quite grasp the issue of race yet; I didn't see black and white, but I was being told I was both.
[for what it's worth, do you ever really feel like you belong in a certain crowd?]: No, and I like it that way. I don't like being labeled or only being allowed to hang out with a certain group of people.
Looks like a good community :).
