“I’m Very Connected To My Community”: How These Multiracial Celebrities Identify Themselves
Taye Diggs
Diggs had this to say when speaking about his biracial son:
“I don’t want my son to be in a situation where he calls himself black, and everyone thinks he has a black mom and a black dad, and then they see a white mother, they wonder, ‘Oh, what’s going on,’” he said. “As African-Americans we were so quick to say okay he’s black he’s black, and then there were the white people who were afraid to say he was biracial because who knows.”
