Is it no longer cool to just be white or black?
Okay, i'm 1/2 dominican and 1/2 black and can trace it back to my immediate parents yet I often just say i'm black because when the world looks at me that's what they see, a black man.
however, i've noticed that more and more girls are saying they are 1/4th this, 1/2 that, 1/8th this...it's starting to get a little silly.
especially because i have homegirls i've happened to grow up with who both parents are black as midnight and they happen to be a little lighter w/ a curl in they hair and the first thing she says to guys is "i'm 1/2 black, 1/2 brazilian (or dominican, or puerto rican, or indian, or white, or...u get my point)
is it uncool to just be black or white now days?

Yes it is. Im no longer black or white....I'm grey! It's all the rage!
It's just a preference thing...
Some people are very proud of being one thing while others are proud of being a mix of lots of different things. Maybe some people are afraid of admitting something in their background, so they omit it.
I can say that I'm Chinese/German/Portuguese, but the fact is I'm mostly Chinese and I look Chinese and I was born in America (Brooklyn, NY), which might not be so obvious to a lot of Americans who've never seen a Chinese person before (yes, there are some who never have).
Tgirllover's right, there are very few purebreds left. I was looking at a Chinese friend of mine the other day and she has these majorly big lips like Sade and she said to me she thought my lips look small (they aren't)! So, there's more mixing going on than most people would care to admit.
