Back in elementary school teachers use to do head counts of the black and white people in the classes. I remember a mixed girl said, "Well, my mom is white and my dad is black", and the teacher said, "Then you are black". That was crazy to me then and I was only about 8 years old. Most of my friends remember this (I was born in 1974), but most people born after 1976 do not remember this practice.
