“I Am More Than My Race: It used to be ‘check a box’ because you cannot pick both. Mix people are treated as if they are contagious or a deadly host. Now, when a box is presented, it says ‘other’ why do I have to be an ‘other?’ What does that mean? Other. Am I an ‘other’ because I am part of my father and part of my mother?” — Charlena E. Jackson
