Growing up as the child of an interracial and interfaith marriage in the early 1990s and 2000s, there weren’t a lot of resources available to help me navigate those dynamics. It was a time where we were still promoting “color-blind” as our best anti-racist efforts. And so at that time, we also used to describe children like me as “half [blank]”. I would introduce myself as “half Black and half white” when asked my least favorite question (and microaggression ) “What are you?”. When I would tell people that I was also Jewish despite having a mother who was Catholic, they were quick to reply, “Oh so you’re only half Jewish”. Their response felt as if they were expressing a sigh of relief to themselves.
