This was an excellent post, Tania -- I especially liked the Romper article. (The books on that list are fantastic -- I can never get through We Sang You Home without crying. I mean not even once.)
I had no idea it wasn't until 2000 that the US census allowed participants to select more than one box! That timeline aligns with a lot of my childhood memories and issues around my identity growing up in the US. I'd love to hear your take and experience on growing up in France and not having the "race boxes" - this comes up a lot in conversation with my friends and family as I'm now based in France.
