'Why would a child who has one white parent and one black parent be considered black'?
Race has always been a complicated and emotional issue in the United States. Racial classification has been used differently in the past on the US Census. However, it has also been used to set goals in education and employment and to monitor civil rights.
People view a child of one black and one white parent differently depending on their personal background. Some view that child as black. Some view that child as being of mixed race or bi-racial. There are no scientific classifications.
