Not necessarily. I am treated as hispanic and "other", sometimes black, never white.
Also, against popular belief I don't believe that most mixed-race people choose one race. 9/10 of the mixed-race people I know identify as a mixed-race individual...someone with different ethnicities
I consider myself African-American because of my culture and ethnic heritage, not because of the degree of the color of my skin. If that were the case I would be reppin for the Boriquas.
