I thought about writing a blog post about people seeing me as racially ambiguous. It takes me one hour to wire three somewhat coherent sentences. Maybe I should read a few pages of a Danzy Senna novel to get some inspiration.

GROSS: You're very light-skinned. And a lot of people first meeting you assume you're white, and then they're confused that you identify as Black. Though, I think now is it fair to say you identify as biracial?
SENNA: No, no. I've always identified as Black. And I don't really - it doesn't come up in the same way anymore, partly because I've written six books.
GROSS: Yeah. So can you talk about how your idea of being, you know, multiracial or biracial has changed as your extended family has grown, and, you know, the people represented in that family have changed?
