Should biracial people be excluded ?
Part 1:
Should biracial people be excluded From conversations and spaces for people of a particular race?
Example, if it’s a question or conversation about a fully Black person, should someone who is mixed with one Black parent one parent something else(white, Asian, whatever) not be included?
And same when it comes to any other race, be it Hispanic, Asian, Native American. Should they not be allowed ?
And if so, then should society be made at them when then refuse to accept a part of themselves or only claim half of what they are?
Part 2:
Should there be made space for parents who have biracial children in these groups as well? Granted there are mixed children biracial parent groups, but isn’t it helpful to get exposure to the culture from those of that group as opposed to groups of diverse mixed biracial children?

No they should not be excluded
Being biracial and feeling completely excluded by both parts of my heritage growing up, this question solidifies exactly why biracial people feel anger towards being born into two races. Never belonging or fitting in anywhere. Even having a group which is only made up of biracial people is exclusionary in itself. It’s purposefully othering. Biracial people should be able to join either group knowing they won’t be ridiculed for being ‘too white’ ‘too Chinese’ ‘too black’ etc. Why should we have to shut the door on one part of our genetics to appease people who are clearly lacking the intelligence to comprehend we don’t just fit into just one box?

Where do any biracial children or parents fit in anywhere then? Where do you think they are allowed to ask about their (half/portion) of their background for advice other than their own family which may be the issue to begin with hence wanting to ask for outside advice? You can make up an infinite amount of groups for their specific genetic make up. Is there a 1/4 polish 3/4 Ukrainian group in here? YES someone is allowed to ask and give advice for a group to which they are associated. You are not allowed to judge someone for how much they relate to (or "look like") each/any part of their background.
