Are you bi-racial??

My mother is bi-racial, born and raised in St. Louis. She identifies as a Black woman because back in the 1950s I don't believe calling oneself bi-racial was even a thought. If you look Black in America people will treat you as such. But since there are soooo many combos that exist within our society I'm sure each person has a different experience.
