Sounds interesting, I’ll be interested in seeing the full article. I hope the article gets to go beyond the white/black dynamic to other forms of biracial diversity.
But JUST biracial? *sigh*
Bad enough biracial people rarely make the general demographic studies, but as I’m aware every time I fill out a form for my family, there’s no niche for the multiracial folk.
To which point, my snarky-ass reply is usually, “That’s OK, We’ll make more!”
We went up for the shoot with our daughter and saw a diverse group of children there. It was a fun experience for our little one and the picture was beautiful.
I also learned more about the personal narrative that the photos will accompany. I can’t wait until February to see if Zara’s picture makes it in the magazine.
