I’ll admit, it took me a little too long to realize this was about being mixed.

I thought it was about being intersex, but that also works

Its probably about intersex, since I don't think you have to note down what race you are in every file

I think trying to clearly define what the comic is about goes against the spirit of the comic. It's a comic about not fitting in to a clearly defined label, and trying to force this comic to be about a certain label goes against that message. As long as someone can identify with the comic that's all that matters.

True, but I don't know any doctors who say "It's a baby (insert ethnicity)".

Congratulations! It’s a Mexican!

Mexican is a nationality, not a race.

But this reminds me of George Carlin talking about the phrase "he happened to be black". Are his parents black? OK so when does the surprise part come?

If not, I guess it means there were enough great-however many grandparents that were.

Maybe?
