00:00When am I supposed to put down?
00:01Just put black.
00:01But I'm not black. I'm mixed.
00:03To Tameka, it felt like I was saying...
00:06I'm half white, so I'm better than you.
00:08Like Tiger Woods.
00:09Whatever, girl.
00:10You can say you're mixed till you're blue in the face,
00:12but at the end of the day,
00:13you'll still be black in the face.
00:15Miss Johnson, you can't add a box.
00:17Just fill it out as is.
00:20I have to fill out this stupid school form
00:22and I can only mark white or black.
00:24That's easy. Just mark black.
00:25No, I'm half white, so I'm better than you.
00:27Yeah, I didn't say that.
00:29But that's what Aunt Dede heard.
00:31Rainbow, you're half black, so you're black.
00:34But I'm also half white.
00:35That might be scientifically accurate,
00:37but science has no place in the real world.
00:39You're black.
00:39I know, but I'm white, too.
00:41Girl, what is this even for?
00:43Aren't you supposed to be learning about planets or something?
00:45I'm gonna petition the school to add a mixed option.
00:47Trust me.
00:48There's gonna be a time when you're gonna realize
00:50you're black.
00:50Why does everyone keep trying to tell me what I am?
00:52I'm mixed.
00:53Maybe you have a point.
00:55Because a black child would never talk to her auntie that way.
