I dont know what other mixed peoples experiences are. But for me (Mexican/American) If I identified myself as half Mexican I was frequently asked to pick a side. But it's impossible. I think you are what you grew up with and identify with. For me, I feel both. I am white on the outside and brown on the inside (Like a Burrito) and I am incredibly proud of both sides. I get the feeling that Obama would agree. It's not for us to label him one way or another. He is what who he wants to be.
