Not sure if it helps...but my daughter is mixed and she's had troubles once in a while, but mainly she has friends of all sorts, mixed, black, white, and other. She's white and black...to be casual about it. She doesn't like that term Melano...I think that is the *official* word; she just likes the term mixed.

She's been insulted by either side, for being either white with black or black with white... but there seems to be a lot more mixed people...or I've just notice them more, since she was born 23 years ago. ;) maybe that's just me noticing more, but then I'm not that observant either. ;)
