Since you brought up the whole "inter-racial/bi-racial' thing, do you prefer to be called black or African-American? I'd hate to screw it up.
I 'prefer' to be called Edie. I 'prefer' that my race didn't matter and that my personality and name did.
Let me ask you, would you rather be called "whitey" or "caucasian" or some other label to stick on you based on the color of your skin?
You know, now that you mention it, I'd like to be called a 'Cracker'. That just sounds funny, like 'that guy's a real cracker' or 'that cracker ass cracker'.
I think I saw the subway this way. The 5 train should take me right home.
