Being an African American decent sh e has faced several obstacles that has made her identity conscious. Halle Berry has stated that the manner in which people have reacted to her is often the result of ignorance. Her own self-identification has been influenced by her mother. In her own words,"I was raised by my white mother and every day of my life I have always been aware of the fact that I am bi-racial.

However, growing up I was aware that even though my mother was white, I did not look or 'feel' very white myself...Many times my classmates did not believe me when I said my mother was white. I soon grew tired of trying to prove that I was half-black and half-white and learned not to concern myself with what others thought.

I began to relate to the other 'all black kids' at my school more because quite simply...I looked more like them... If people would just learn to look at everyone equally and stop trying to label one another the issue of what we are all made of would be null and void...We are all members of the same race, the human race!"
