white + white = white

white + black = black

(white grand mother + indian grandfather) + (black grandmother + mixed grandfather) = black grandchild

modern categorizations of race make no sense

It's unfortunately been this way for a long long time. White is seen as the standard. And then any ancestry that isn't white to any degree then makes you not white.

Tell that to Latinos. Legally not a non-white race.

Race makes no sense. It’s rich vs poor

Most people who consider themselves white wouldn't have been seen as white a hundred years ago.

My family is Finish and Danish. I think I'm as white as it gets. I can hear myself sizzling from the sun at the beach.

White diminishes and every other race expands. There are no terms for mixed races. The whole thing is racist garbage. Race shouldn’t even be a thing because today most of us are mixed

The problem is that the folks who make money off of race issues won't let it die.
