Deciding how we identify mixed-race people will always be a problem mainly because scientifically there is no such thing as race. We are all part of the human race. White tribes invented race so that they could commit evil acts in the past to steal wealth and keep it for themselves. We are now all in a state of confusion because high level race mixing is relatively recent and doesn't really fit into the western concept of race definition. It would be easier if we were in south America and everybody was labelled according to skin colour but I don't think this is a good system at all.

I don't think mixed-race people should ever pick a side because its unfair to ask them to ignore one side (or in some cases more) of themselves in order to fit in with a particular group. It will also be hard for mixed people to ever be their own individual race because there are so many combinations and degrees of mixtures that this would be impossible to do. Unless the whole world comes to an agreement that there's no such thing as race, just billions of people from the same species where some look a bit similar than others, like cats, then we will always have a problem when it comes to mixed-race people. This of course, will never happen.
