I'm mixed too. Dad being Kenyan. I was born and raised in Kenya, and I will die in Kenya. As far as I'm concerned I am Kenyan, regardless of skin colour. I've gone to many Kenyan schools, and 'pointees' generally consider themeselves black with a white parent. Not the other way around.
That is the beauty of Kenya, I'm part white and whenever someone asks what my nationality is I say Kenyan and they accept me as Kenyan. They ask me if I'm black or white, and I say I'm black, and they accept me as black. Try to do that in the U.S, lets say you're mixed and say you're white. You'll be considered a fool.
I was asked to choose nationalities between Kenya and U.S. and to me it was a no brainer, I'm Kenyan. Like I tell everyone, I did not choose Kenya, Kenya chose me.
And to those Pointii haters, don't judge me because I happen to have the same two races this person has. Most mixed people consider themeselves Kenyan.
This idiot will never know what it means to be Kenyan, it's actually kind of sad. I can't imagine how that must feel. Kenya untill I die.
