ParticipantMarion – Do you think that people who are biracial are identified by society more on how they look ( stereotypical features) or which race they themselves identify more with? For example, isn’t Mariah Carey one to distance herself from her african ethnicity – so not as many people think of her as black; whereas Obama is a married to a black woman and is very immersed in the black community of Chicago, so people more likely think of him as black.
Asianautica may not be racist, so I wouldn’t accuse him of not being able to engage in that argument, but in some sense you are right. I remember having many conversations with my asian boyfriend in undergrad about bi-racial dating and the very stong negativity towards a relationship with someone who was african american…his parents didn’t approve of me either because I wasn’t asian. oh well, his loss π
BTW – I’m voting for Obama

ParticipantI know what you mean about Brewyn…pretty crazy.
I haven’t tried Bronx Pizza. The only negative about Lefty’s is that there really isn’t an area to dine in (there are just a couple of tables). Being that we are thin crust lovers, we have only tried their thin crust, however the deep dish looked pretty yummy.
