	Choosing Many (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Although race is increasingly recognized as a social construct, one of our defining identities continues to derive from our racial or ethnic categorization; individual identities are expected to be formed through identification with only one race or ethnicity.
		For an individual of mixed race, this type of a situation is highly problematic and serves to reveal some of the issues faced by multiracial people.
		Before more fully examining the literature that exists on people of mixed race, it is appropriate to first note that this essay is specifically concerned with people who are of partial Asian descent, or whose parents derive from different ethnicities within the collective Asian racial category.

	Naomi Zack: “Mixed Black and White Race and Public Policy”
		It is usually assumed that Africans were enslaved because there was a prior-existing concept of the superiority of the white race, and an assumption that fls were “not fully human” and that, while enslaving whites would have been wrong, enslaving fls was not.
		A person of “mixed” race “invents her racial identity at the same time that she tells herself she is discovering it”:
		The danger of the idea that “race is a fiction” spreading is that people will then say (as many whites do) that we don’t need Affirmative Action and there is no racism (“there can’t be racism if there are no races”).

	Rethinking Mixed Race
		The area of "mixed race" is one where demography and social definitions can clearly be seen to intersect.
		Mixed parentage, therefore, is significant for all these reasons - sociological, psychological and demographic - and so it is important that the Census has something to say about it.
		This is despite the fact that the LFS tends to underestimate the size of the minority ethnic population relative to the Census.

		Issues of race lie at the heart of "New Britain" and in this title the author gives an analysis of mixed race issues, supplying a history before going on to analyze dilemmas such as guilt, and the absence of social policy.

	Mixed Race Identity
		From their early entry into the United States as a source of cheap labor in the mid-1800s, Asian immigrant men were depicted as economic competitors and inferior foreigners who would “contaminate” the national gene pool through miscegenation.
		This paper analyzes the identification of mixed race Asian Americans with races other than their “official designations,” interpreting why, for example, a bi-racial Asian/White individual would choose to identify with Latinos or Blacks.
		This paper explores how these identifications challenge the correlation of blood to race, and race to culture while upholding racial designation as a powerful source of meaning in people's daily lives.

		But white moms with mixed race babies may well be more inclined to do so because they have been fed the idea by the media etc that a mixed race baby is cute and desirable.
		And I'm not saying mixed race children are the problem, but they are as I see it, a buffer class of people who often times consider themselves better than Blacks and as it stands here in the U.S, want nothing to do with us and are petitioning for their own racial classification

	The Others: Mixed Race Women
		Although recent studies indicate that the mixed race population in America is currently increasing faster than at any other time in history, relatively little academic attention has yet been paid to multiracial individuals.
		Americans tend to believe that races are empirically distinct and fundamentally different; as such, assignment to a race is also an assignment to a social identity (Root 1996: 192-193).
		In terms of the mixed race people that I meet, I can understand the issues, what they might be facing when facing their own communities, I can empathize, but I can’t identity with that (Camper 1994: 40).

		Through the Add Health dataset, Bratter and Heard also found that in mixed race households with African American fathers, children are three times as likely to claim their fathers’ exact race and eight times as likely to include it when describing their racial identity.

	debunkingwhite: "mixed race"
		Sure race is a social construct, but to ignore the effects of white supremacy in our culture, and the oppression that POC face every fucking day, by pretending to be color blind just reinforces white supremacy.
		Race isn't a simple construct and the statement "we're all mixed race" while true on, as the OP said, a technical level, doesn't even begin to describe all the complexities of race and class in American, or more broadly, Western, society.
		they're basically saying, "if i am mixed race, i'm not all white." even if italians or irish or [fill in other white group] were at one time or by one group considered to be less white, on a daily basis they are still treated as white with all the privilege that comes with that treatment.

	INTERRACIAL VOICE - Guest Editorial (Naomi Zack)
		During the early 1990s, advocates for the federal recognition of mixed race identities succeeded to the extent that the "check only one box" rule for race was rescinded in the 2000 census.
		While mixed race is not mentioned explicitly in question nine, those who identify as mixed usually do so on the basis of known ancestry of more than one race.
		Insofar as race is biologically false, but ethnicity is pervasive in daily life and universal as a narrative and social science subject, the restriction of biology to "race," and culture and psychology to "ethnicity" is useful for analytic purposes.
