What is biracial radar?

There is a term called gaydar. This means people have the ability to "sniff out" gays. In the same sense, there is also a biracial radar. Like gaydar, those with biracial radar have the ability to tell if someone is possibly biracial.

I say possibly because no one ever knows if a person is biracial unless they either ask or find out by certain types of observations.

Quite honestly its kind of weird asking someone if they are biracial when you don't know them enough. I mean if you speak to them or have enough classes with them, then maybe...

Some biracials naturally are curious to know if there are other people like them out there. Its just naturally interesting, and sometimes quite fun to see just how many biracials are really out there.

I know I still get amazed by all the little brown skinned tone children with a white parent (usually a mom) in tow with them.

Things that tend to alert one's biracial radar:

• skin tone (brown tone, usually whitish brown or yellowish brown, sometimes reddish brown)
• curly hair, especially with boys.
• "acting white" many biracials tend to lean to their white side (not all but many), and this usually makes one wonder if they are black or biracial as they seem to be lacking in a sense part of their culture in personality.
• facial features: some have european noses, sometimes having freckles, or different eye color.
  
• voice can sometimes be a little more "white".

Now the problem with biracial radar is that its faulty and isn't always true. I mean, born blacks can in fact also have these traits too. That list is just the traits that usually cause people to question and spark curiosity if one is biracial or not.

With white people, they pretty much assume I am black. With blacks and other biracials, you can sometimes see the curiosity in their faces.
