Mixed race families are common where I live including several people I'm close friends with, and it's interesting to me that the mixed kids are very accepted among their white peers to the point their mixed heritage isn't even mentioned, but the mixed kids have a lot of problems with black peers who have no doubt learned it from their parents to be very hostile to mixed race kids, one of my friends is currently dealing with it with her mixed race daughter who is only in the 2nd grade and yet is constantly being bullied by black kids and being told she shouldn't be allowed to have her hair braided for example because she is too "light skinned" and so on, the white kids are super chill and friendly with her

Most whites think of them as "black" which is why they do. Whites invented the 1 drop rule.
