with thousands of other people to vote. As of Thursday, according to theNew York Times, "Being someone that is half-black and half-Iranian and proud of both sides, it gave me a community of people that identify as blackish," Yara said. "Because so many times, if you are of any race, there is a certain feeling of this meter of like, ‘How black am I? How Iranian am I?’ and it's hard when you're both to feel as though you can coexist as both and be fully both." The prisoner laughed. “How much can you pay me?”“Answer the question.” For multiracial people, there's often a feeling of trying to evaluate "how much" of each race they might identify with. As Yara points out, finding others who are going through similar discoveries can help with conceptualizing an identity where all parts can exist in harmony. She also continued to explain how she interpreted the term "blackish."
