When people ask me, I say that I'm "mixed" or "mixed race." I never say "ethnic." That implies that white is the norm and that I am different from white. Also, it takes just as much time. Ethnic is vague and confusing.

You know Florida isn't really the South! ;)

She gets the point of the hashtag. She is suggesting that the hashtag isn't enough. Putting #blacklivesmatter at the end of a Facebook post isn't going to change the deeply entrenched racist conditioning of many police officers.
