As a mixed person, this is so overdue that it's tragic. However, now that we have this in our current climate, it gives me hope in humanity again.

Share. This. With. Everyone. You. Know.

This was so good. I was born in the 70s, went to high school in the Bay Area in the 90s. Got a LOT of "what are you" my entire life. My parents were able to give perspective on their cultures but neither of them understood what it was to be both. I had a very different experience than they did. I think the biggest challenge of being multi racial and multi cultural is the pushback from your own people and family. I was the only half white cousin. I was teased for being white. But also the brownest of my friend group. As a kid I never felt that I totally belonged to any group. As an adult I love being different, I love that I have ancestry from all over the world. It is very strange to have kids who look 100% white and have a very different experience than I did. Thanks to the filmmaker for a great documentary. And the kids are just amazing.

I’m mixed race and from the south. Loved this doc but wish he had covered mixed kids from different geographic regions of the USA. The mixed experience is very different when geography is included…

This is so good!! My best friend is in this! She's the one who said "Black, Asian, Love, and a llama, and a corgi."

Outstanding documentary. Just watched it. Extra special for those of us who live in the Bay Area.
Definitely deserves an Emmy.

I loved the documentary but as a black mom with a mixed daughter I would’ve loved to see black moms in here

Korean/White - It's refreshing to see a film that represents us.

Thankful that there is a doc about multiracial people. We appreciate the visibility

I am so excited to hear from MIXED FOLKS! I know Kamu’s gonna get me riled up to!!!
As a Black woman with mixed children this is an ongoing conversation I’ve been having since BEFORE my kids were even born. I can already tell Imma be frustrated by some parents lack of forethought.

United Airlines currently has this on their streaming library. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

As a mixed person I hate having to explain how my mother is British/Jamaican and my father is Spaniard/Dominican

[ImmortalDynastyTarot]

This conversation is very much needed. As a biracial woman, and the mother of a mixed son Im happy this is happening ❤

[imspinny]

as a mixed guy I'm loving this tbh

[eduardoclaros]

daughters are filipino and latino. this hit home for so many reasons.

I'm 58 yrs old and I am still asked "what are you." It's a trigger that I am still working out in therapy. It's not, what are you mixed with, etc. It's the "what" are you that triggers me. As if I am a thing. Hopefully, this gen will have a better way of dealing with the racism from both sides. For me, I'm not Black enough, and White people, well, anyway. This should be an intersting watch.

Lets go Kamau. The Cosby doc was great and I'm looking forward to this one.

[ruthpicon]

Great job Kamau. Congrats to everyone who contributed to this project!

[truebloodtheband]
