Her mother raised her to think of herself as half white at home but out in the world she's black. Although I bet with Tiger Woods, Mariah Carey, and other multiracial people not taking this attitude she's changing her mind I'm sure. The healthiest way of raised mixed race children to present their heritage as both, instead of this schizophrenia her mom induced. Also, I've learned it doesn't matter what other people think about my so-called race, and if you base your identity on what other people think well I feel sorry for my friend. That's what I would say to a lot of people,esp. Halle Berry. But this is HOLLYWOOD where you sometimes base your life on what people think about you. I would not want that kind of life.

I think that's a central advantage of us normal folks. IMHO we're more likely to be judged on what we DO, not what we look like. Do we produce? How good of a job do we do? I know, I'm being idealistic here, but the point is, it's at least more likely. In her like of work it's all looks and that can't be healthy for her psyche.
