1.  I recently watched a documentary about interracial children and how they identify themselves. Foner brings up the census and the limited options of what to choose when picking race. So many races are either not represented or misrepresented such as the light skinned Cubans. This is a dilemma that these interracial children in the documentary faced. They did not know what ethnicity to check off and it made them very insecure about their own biracial status.

2. I liked when Foner was talking about CUNY and how students of all different ethnicities are able to come together there. In my sociology class. we talked about how students of all ethnicities feel the ability more to be themselves and represent their culture as opposed to a private college where many students who come from ethnic backgrounds feel like they have to change to fit in.
