This is crazy! I’ve seen my dad’s birth certificate from Louisiana, it says “colored”, same thing for my cousin born in 1989, she’s blonde, blue eyed and could pass if she wanted to. I was shocked to see it. I was born in London, UK, no race on my birth certificate.

LOL America is so messed up with it sometimes. My mom would be called "colored" if she had been born in Louisiana but my family left for NY so my mom is "White".
