The "multi-racial" concept is one that some of our "common folk" seem to have amazing difficulty wrapping their brain cells around (as if "white" actually meant anything *really*). The "you may only select one bubble" mentality (for years I told my kids to circle two anyway and argue the point) is just as moronic as the "one drop of blood test that got one labeled as "colored".
Skin color runs the spectrum, people can have multiple ethnic heritages. There are a lot of Americans who are really tired of the nonsense and hand-wringing over it. Unfortunately, yet again our mass media finds it an easy way to create controversy.
