<p>It can be complicated for bi-racial kids.</p>
<p>My son self identifies as PR because that’s how he sees himself in the mirror each day, though he is 1/2 Caucasian (Ukranian Jew, to be exact).</p>
<p>One day he wore a t-shirt with the words, “Puerto Rico’s Got Rhythm” (a band that came to our church). He was stopped by a security guard for having an expired trolley pass. The guard begin to speak to my son in Spanish. My son told him he didn’t speak Spanish. The guard, also PR, got angry with my son and told him, “Don’t wear that shirt if you can’t speak Spanish.”</p>
