I'm not biracial, but my nephews are. Thanks for posting this, and thanks for linking to the Salon article. Maybe they won't have the same feelings, maybe they will, but at least I can try to keep my eyes and ears open.

Like the Australian above, I'm quite surprised about the racial classification boxes (except for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people), but there is one time we are asked and that's on the census. There's a number of (multiple-choice) boxes plus write-in space - but that's not going to your college, or your employer, or your health insurance.
