What's your take on where people of mixed race heritage fit into this dialogue. It's something that I've thought about, as I am mixed race AND privileged. I'm part Japanese and am immediately identified by others as 'Asian.' As in, nobody looks at me and says "that guy's white." However I do come from privilege as well. I'm male, my family is white. I'm certainly not asking your 'blessing' to be Asian, but if identify myself as in fact, a 'minority,' what would you say?

I think the whole idea of objectively quantifying privilege like a quality that resides inside you is counterproductive. Privilege is just a symptom of systems of oppression, not a thing in itself. If you’re not treated as white, then you’re not white. It’s that simple. Plenty of people who are not white live happy and lucky lives and plenty of white people are unhappy and have lots of troubles.

If you’re looking into exploring multiracial issues I’d suggest going to weareallmixed.tumblr.com :-)
