Completely different to the deep racial discourse of 'black' but having a nonitalian last name but a large Italian family influence and friends was weird because I thought I was Italian but all those kids wanted to make sure I knew I wasn't just because of my last name. Super weird.
With that skin tone, she should be considered white. Then again, 'muricans will call people with white-ish skin anything but white if they're not from the "right" white places.

Honestly Huey is wrong. Neither group accepted me as one of them while I was growing up.

I personally have no experience with this, being white, but knowing black, and mixed folk that was my take away as well.

I can't find it now but this reminds me of a fucking Family Guy gag of all things
"Oh boy, now that everyone knows I'm biracial, both races will love me equally!

I think that's what Huey's getting at, in line with "one-drop" rules. "Society" considers half black = black.
