Census  2000:  Nearly  7  million  Americans  marked  mul$ple  races  to  describe  themselves.    Census  2010:  Nearly  9  million  Americans  marked  mul$ple  races  to  describe  themselves.    The  mul$racial  popula$on  grew  by  32%  from  2000  to  2010,  compared  to  popula$ons  who  reported  a  single  race,  which  grew  by  9.2%.    The  most  common  mixed  race  heritages  were:  1)  White  and  Some  Other  Race  (1.7  million)  2)  White  and  American  Indian  (1.4  million)  3)  White  and  Asian  (1.6  million)  4)  White  and  Black  or  African  American  (1.8  million)    *  Since  2000,  two  mul$ple-­‐race  groups  exhibited  the  most  significant  changes  —  the  “White  And  Black”  popula$on,  which  grew  more  than  1  million  and  increased  by  134  percent;  and  the  “White  and  Asian”  popula$on,  which  grew  by  about  750,000  and  increased  by  87  percent.

§  There  were  16  states  where  over  200,000  people  reported  more  than  one  race.  

§  California,  Texas  and  New  York  each  had  a  mul$ple-­‐race  popula$on  over  500,000.  

§  The  percentage  change  in  the  mul$ple-­‐race  popula$on  was  70  percent  or  greater  in  nine  states:  Delaware,  Georgia,  Kentucky,  Mississippi,  North  Carolina,  South  Carolina,  South  Dakota,  Tennessee  and  West  Virginia  (All  are  southern  states,  except  South  Dakota).  

§  Hawaii  was  the  state  with  the  highest  propor$on  of  self-­‐reported  mul$racial  whites,  mul$racial  Asians  and  mul$racial  Na$ve  Hawaiians  and  Other  Pacific  Islanders.  

§  Lansing,  Michigan,  was  the  place  with  the  highest  propor$on  of  self-­‐reported  mul$racial  African  Americans.  

§  Anchorage,  Alaska,  was  the  place  with  the  highest  propor$on  of  self-­‐reported  mul$racial  American  Indians  and  Alaska  Na$ves.

§  Among  Americans  under  18,  the  mul$racial  popula$on  has  increased  almost  50  percent,  to  4.2  million,  since  2000,  making  it  the  fastest  growing  youth  group  in  the  country.  

§  The  data  further  shows  that  the  mul$racial  popula$on  is  overwhelmingly  young,  More  than  half  of  the  mul$racial  popula$on  was  younger  than  20  years  old.  

§  Demographers  project  that  the  mul$racial  popula$on  will  con$nue  to  grow  so  that  by  2050,1  in  5  Americans  could  claim  a  mul$racial  background,  and  by  2100,  the  ra$o  could  soar  to  1  in  three.

“Multiracial people are proof that we have overcome racism.”

“Mixed people are so hot!”

“She thinks she’s better because she’s mixed.”

“He acts White.”"

“What are you?”

“Aren’t we all mixed?”

“Where are you from? No, I mean, originally.”

“Multiracial people have the best of both worlds.”!

“Mixed babies are the cutest!”

“Just pick one!”

“He’s only half.”�

“Is that your mother?”

“I don’t even think of you as Black.”!

“In my day there was no such thing as ‘biracial’.”

11  to  14  -­‐  Most  early  adolescents  struggle  to  find  their  place  within  society.  This  can  be  especially  difficult  for  mixed  heritage  youth.    -­‐  When  they  find  a  place  where  they  feel  they  fit  they  latch  onto  that  iden$ty.    -­‐  Finding  this  niche  may  lead  to  a  rejec$on  of  other  parts  of  their  iden$ty.    15  to  17  -­‐  Youth  are  dealing  with  a  more  complex  understanding  of  who  they  are  in  society.    -­‐  Many  “try  on”  different  ethnic  iden$$es  looking  for  the  right  fit.    -­‐  Ooen  mixed  heritage  youth  approach  struggles  with  da$ng  interracially  and  make  decisions  that  their  parents  made  –  what  is  socially  accepted  behavior,  and  who  is  an  “acceptable”  partner?    Early  adulthood  -­‐  Young  adults  ooen  delve  deeper  into  their  ethnic  roots,  whether  by  immersing  themselves  into  a  specific  cultural  tradi$on,  or  with  mixed  race  groups.    -­‐  This  is  also  the  first  $me  the  student  is  forced  to  reckon  with  a  framework  that  is  outside  their  family  of  origin,  as  children  may  move  away  from  home.       Source: The Multiracial Child Resource Book, 2003

Mixed-­‐heritage  people  can  experience  discrimina$on.  Here  are  some  of  the  ways:    1)  Assumed  monoracial  status  (ins$tu$onal  invisibility)    2)  Racism  targe$ng  all  people  perceived  as  non-­‐White    3)  Discrimina$on  by  people  opposed  to  racial  intermarriage    4)  Discrimina$on  by  people  of  color  and  communi$es  of  color    5)  Misapplied  discrimina$on

1)  Students  from  more  than  one  racial  background  are  more  likely  than  their  single-­‐race  peers  to  experience  trouble  in  school,  such  as  repea$ng  a  grade,  skipping  school,  and  being  suspended.      2)  School-­‐related  problems  and  lack  of  aspira$ons,  might  be  related  to  the  mul$racial  youths'  percep$on  and/or  experience  of  societal  prejudice  and  discrimina$on.    3)  Racism  nega$vely  affects  the  formula$on  of  posi$ve  racial  and  ethnic  iden$ty  among  these  youths.  Both  majority  and  ethnic  minority  groups  may  reject  mul$racial  youths,  and  such  social  marginality  can  place  mul$racial  youths  at  higher  risk  for  delinquent  behavior  and  substance  use.    4)  Further,  some  youths  may  have  to  compromise  their  values  and  interests  to  be  accepted  by  a  peer  group  or  get  involved  in  nega$ve  ac$vi$es  to  enhance  their  social  desirability.

5)  For  example,  studies  report  a  higher  incidence  of  overrepresenta$on  in  mental  health  treatment  and  higher  rates  of  other  psychological  and  behavioral  problems.    6)  When  there  is  a  strong  iden$ty  forma$on,  self-­‐concept,  reference  group  orienta$on.  If  the  quality  of  parent  and  adolescent  rela$onship  exists  and  the  majority  of  school,  behavioral,  and  psychological  dimensions  are  suppor$ve;  can  lead  to  different  outcomes.      7)  A  stronger,  posi$ve  ethnic  iden$ty  may  serve  as  a  protec$ve  factor,  par$cularly  for  the  frequency  of  substance  use  and  violence.    8)  Because  mul$racial  youths  are  more  likely  to  engage  in  problem  behaviors,  it  is  impera$ve  to  address,  early  in  their  development,  these  youths'  mul$racial  background  as  well  as  the  issues  related  to  race/ethnicity.

§  Minimize  assump$ons  and  don’t  impose  a  racial  iden$ty  Don’t  assume  a  child’s  racial  iden$ty  or  impose  your  own  preference  of  a  racial  iden$ty  onto  them.  

§  Don’t  ask  too  many  ques$ons  Mixed  heritage  people  are  ooen  asked  about  their  heritage.  Show  interest,  but  try  not  to  exacerbate  feelings  of  “otherness.”  Balance  curiosity  with  respect.  

§  Respond  to  racial  and  monoracial  bias    Mul$racial  children  can  receive  harassment  from  their  peers.  Residen$al  centers  need  to  respond  and  address  these  incidents.  Mul$racial  children  should  not  have  to  jus$fy  their  existence.        

§  Celebra$ons!  Be  inclusive  where  all  children  can  par$cipate,  learn,  and  enjoy  the  ac$vity  and  provide  support  for  mul$racial  children's  celebra$on  of  each  part  of  their  heritage.  A  child  should  should  not  have  to  ignore  one  part  of  their  heritage  and  celebrate  the  other.  

 §  Make  resources  available  

Have  books,  images  and  other  resources  about  mixed  heritage  people  and  families  in  the  center…  but  be  a  skep$cal  consumer!

§  Crea$ve  Projects  Incorporate  mixed  heritage  issues  into  larger  conversa$ons  about  iden$ty.  Ex:  how  do  you  blur  boundaries  of  race,  ethnicity,  culture,  gender,  na$onality,  class,  popularity,  etc.?  

 §  Par$cipate  in  community  ac$vi$es    

each  year  there  are  regional  and  na$onal  mixed  heritage  conferences  and  events  that  may  be  of  interest  to  your  youth  and  their  families.  

 §  Help  youth  start  a  mixed  heritage  group  

several  high  schools  have  mixed  heritage  and  adoptee  student  groups.  Around  the  country  there  are  opportuni$es  for  collabora$on  with  local  colleges.

I  HAVE  THE  RIGHT…  Not  to  jus$fy  my  existence  in  this  world.  Not  to  keep  the  races  separate  within  me.  Not  to  be  responsible  for  people’s  discomfort  with  my  physical  ambiguity.  Not  to  jus$fy  my  ethnic  legi$macy    I  HAVE  THE  RIGHT…  To  iden$fy  myself  differently  than  strangers  expect  me  to  iden$fy.  To  iden$fy  myself  differently  from  how  my  parents  iden$fy  me.  To  iden$fy  myself  differently  from  my  brothers  and  sisters.  To  iden$fy  myself  differently  in  different  situa$ons.    I  HAVE  THE  RIGHT…  To  create  a  vocabulary  to  communicate  about  being  mul$racial.  To  change  my  iden$ty  over  my  life$me—and  more  than  once.  To  have  loyal$es  and  iden$fica$on  with  more  than  one  group  of  people.  To  freely  choose  whom  I  befriend  and  love.
