1.) First of all let me state that the purpose of MixedFolks.com is simple, to celebrate your multiracial heritage. I try to provide information that multiracial people will find relevant and interesting. It is not meant to be divisive.

2.) I realize that some of the people on this site choose not to identify with being biracial and that is their prerogative. I'm just stating that they happen to be of mixed race heritage, what they choose to call themselves and identify with is their business and I respect that. I'm not trying to tell anyone what they should identify with, it's none of my business.

3.) I realize that most all Blacks in America have some mixed ancestry. But there is clearly a difference between someone who has parents of two different races and someone whose great great grandmother was White but everyone else in their family is Black. This does not mean that there are not people who are multigenerational mixed but in order to narrow the focus of this site (due to limited time and resources) many of them are not included. This should not be seen as a dismissal of those who are multigenerational mixed, or that they are any better or worse than other mixed people (or any people for that matter).

4.) So the next question is, how do you determine who is mixed? First of all, I don't determine who is mixed, but for the purposes of this site I usually only add someone if they have parents of two different races (in other words first generation mixed, I have made a few exceptions though). The only reason for this rule is that I simply don't have time to research and add everyone who ever had some race mixing in their past. Again, this does not mean that there are not people who are multigenerational mixed but in order to narrow the focus of this site (due to limited time and resources) many of them are not included. Unfortunately I have to clarify this because to some it is not understood. Realistically this site is for enjoyment and information, it is not intended to be the final word on the definitions of race or who is mixed and who isn't. That is a question much to complex for me or this site.

5.) What is the meaning of the MixedFolks.com logo? The Logo is an Ankh which is an Egyptian symbolic representation of both Physical and Eternal life. The half and half coloring of the Ankh and the background represents being biracial (Shouts out to my boy at Weldon Arts for hooking up the logo).
