	Center on Democracy in a Multiracial Society, UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN
		Primarily structured as a policy/research and public education unit, the Center is designed to serve as catalyst for vigorous scholarly and public debate on the multiple racial contexts of democracy.
		The Center on Democracy in a Multiracial Society is a unique research institute organized around a commitment to the practice of democracy and equality within a changing multiracial U.S. society.
		A central aim of the Center is to promote multiple and interdisciplinary approaches for examining the organization of society relating to the racially and ethnically diverse populations in the U.S. at the beginning of the twenty-first century, as well as to gender, class, age, sexuality, disability, religion, and citizenship status.

	Multiracial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Multiracial individuals are often presumed to have an identity crisis because of not being able to answer questions such as "Are you Black or White?", perhaps due to having a sense of identity that is very different than people who claim to be of just one race.
		The racial social identity of children and their parents in the same multiracial family may vary or be the same, to different degrees.
		[2] Some multiracial children feel pressure from various sources to "choose" or to assimilate into a single racial identity, while others whose identity or lifestyle is perceived to be closer to some of their component races than others may feel pressure not to abandon one or more of their ethnicities.

	Multiracial feminism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The multiracial feminism perspective was developed by Dr. Maxine Baca Zinn, who is known as one of the “foremothers of Chicana feminism” and a pioneer in the field of family, race and ethnic relations, especially ethnic families and Mexican-American women and Dr. Bonnie Thornton Dill, a sociology expert on African American women and family.
		Multiracial feminism stemmed from socialist feminist thinking and race and ethnic studies, especially where political and economic forces shape women’s lives.
		However, Baca Zinn explained that multiracialism should be looked at not as “individual characteristics but as a means to showcase location and group positioning within a society’s opportunity structures.” Studies and research in the field of multiracial feminism continue today.

	NASP CQ Vol. 32, #7 - Multiracial Children (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		Multiracial children are a growing student population in America's schools.
		Multiracial children have learning and developmental needs similar to those of other children, but sadly, often their classroom and other school experiences are shaped by misunderstanding, mislabeling, and prejudice in a country that is largely monoracial.
		Since the late 1960s there has been a baby boom of multiracial children, and current projections indicate a steady increase in their school enrollment around the country in all settings-large and small, rural and urban, and in affluent and working class neighborhoods.

		Harachi noted that while multiracial children are at higher risk for substance abuse and violent behavior, in most cases the majority of the multiracial youth were not involved in these problems.

	INTERRACIAL VOICE - Guest Editorial
		Most of the inquiries I receive from parents of young multiracial and multiethnic children concern the insensitivity of schools and early childhood programs to their family's unique needs and struggles and the lack of information these institutions have regarding their families.
		Multiracial and multiethnic children see themselves and their families in books, curricular content, materials, artwork, posters, and doll and people sets.
		Multiracial and multiethnic children deserve our support in challenging a society that doesn't understand them and in many cases does not accept their parents' relationship.

	Multiracial Students: What School Counselors Need To Know. ERIC Digest.
		According to Brown (1990), to automatically suggest that multiracial individuals will likely have identity problems as a result of their background typically refers to the view that these individuals do not fit neatly into socially defined racial categories and as a result they have trouble determining their position, role, and status in society.
		However, when multiracial individuals do not culturally identify with both parents, Sebring (1985) contends this may cause them to experience feelings of disloyalty and enormous guilt over their rejection of one parent for the other.
		Multiracial individuals, because of their unique developmental history, will typically possess more insight and sensitivity to both racial groups than single race children because they have the opportunity to personally experience what the racial identity of each implies.

	eMedicine - Rhinoplasty, Multiracial : Article by Manoj T Abraham, MD, FACS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		With the influx of multiracial immigrant populations and the growth of minority communities, the number of multiracial patients requesting facial plastic surgery is rising steadily, especially in large urban centers.
		Clinical: The clinical presentation of multiracial patients requesting rhinoplasty is just as varied as the presentation of white patients and is influenced by the etiology of the perceived problem.
		Risk of patient dissatisfaction is increased because of the inherent limitations imposed by the nasal anatomy in multiracial persons and by often-unachievable patient expectations.

	Diversity Web
		While multiracial people have always been a part of American culture, the changing racial climate has created a new context in which children of interracial unions have been able to more openly define and affirm their multiracial heritage.
		Given the wide range of experiences multiracial students have, it is important to avoid lumping the needs of all multiracial students together.
		Some students gain great support from being involved in a multiracial student organization, where they can share common experiences associated with their complicated and sometimes ambiguous identities and create a sense of solidarity, comfort, and affirmation.

	Multiracial Children and Education
		However, multiracial children not only have to deal with the normal difficulties of childhood and family situations, they have to also deal with an identity situation (Harsha).
		Multiracial Children have identity issues and concerns of experiencing a sense of being different (physical appearance, name, language, etc), experiencing not fully belonging to any ethnic group, experiencing difficulty with incorporating different heritages into one identity, and experiencing racism from all ethnic groups, including their own.
		Multiracial children have specific identity issues that students must deal with before they can progress through natural developmental and basic needs.

		Multiracial families are uniquely affected by racial dynamics in U.S. society.
		Multiracial individuals and families are one of the fastest growing populations in the U.S., yet this group is often silenced or marginalized in discussions about race (Root, 1996).
		We further acknowledge that multiracial families are not monolithic, and that by discussing multiracial identity, we risk generalizing a highly heterogeneous population.

	NWREL Child and Family
		This is important because the multiracial community of children, who now account for four percent of all children under 18, is continuing to grow.
		Educators can promote the positive development of multiracial students by treating each child according to his or her unique cultural characteristics instead of lumping together children of various ethnicities as generically multiracial.
		But the practice is giving way as critics raise their voices and the growing multiracial student population (fifteen percent of seniors last year) outstrips officials' ability to neatly classify them.

	Mixed emotions: The multiracial student experience at UC Berkeley
		About half the 20 people taking her class are multiracial, with the remainder in interracial relationships; Allen's 150- to 250-person class tends to be similarly divided.
		The multiracial movement is a young one in both senses of the word.
		Also, the real number of young multiracial people is probably even higher, as research shows that many interracial couples do not report their children as multiracial.

	The Multiracial Activist - www.multiracial.com - Yes, We're Multiracial, But What are You?
		Other cultures with white multiracials often assimilate into the dominant monoracial grouping without notice, while the white/fl multiracial is often viewed with disdain or even shock.
		The unenlightened may be in awe of a white multiracial because of their limited ideals of race and the myth that fl genes dominate, therefore creating a fl child.
		For my daughter, she will probably be embraced more in the white community than within the Multiracial community because of false ideals we hold of what mixed children are supposed to be.

	Introduction
		In addition, some multiracial persons may feel most comfortable associating with only one of their ethnicities; thus, it is impossible to generalize all multiracial persons although general themes emerge regarding the difficulties that tend to accompany being multiracial.
		It is through increased education and societal acceptance of a multiracial identity along with the growing number of multiracial persons that we may eventually be able to break down the racial barriers that still exist today.
		Multiracial individuals when filling in racial and ethnic information will now be able to check off multiple racial categories on government forms and agencies that are funded by federal monies.

	INTERRACIAL VOICE - Speech
		In our quest for a multiracial category on the 2000 Census, we were once again denied the ability to honestly and openly state who we are.
		The individuals and organizations who continue to fight against a multiracial category are hanging on to the apron strings of oppression.
		The notion that we as multiracial people must choose one side in order for a group to have political power is rooted in slave-owner ideology.

		Having interviewed both members of multiracial households and children of such unions, Dalmage has successfully shed light on an element of a society centered on and rooted in the construct of race, but known only to those involved in such relationships, marriages, and families.
		By beginning the discussion of the "borders" encountered by Americans choosing to date and marry members not of their immediate "group," Dalmage lays the foundation for readers to conceptualize what it means not only to be one who "transgresses," but also what they encounter as the simply seek to live their lives.
		Interestingly, after noting the linguistic problemsinherent in discussing both race and mixed race she is consistentlyinconsistent throughout her text in referring to white-fl mixedindividuals as biracial, multiracial, African American, or fl.Thus, she further obscures mixed identity by not clarifying her ownterminology and demonstrates exactly how language functions to annexmixedness to flness.

		As a result, they are more easily recruited to join organizations in which they are not different from the majority of other members, making multiracial congregations frequently unstable in their composition.
		In sum, what one says and what one doesn’t say to get people on this multiracial path and stay there is part intentional and part intuitive, making it a difficult strategy to copy effectively.
		The pastor supports multiracial congregations because of their potential usefulness for correcting patterns of racialization.
