Mixed White-Black research insufficiently captures other Multiracial groups’ experiences

Evidence

Although scholarship that focuses exclusively on mixed White- Black persons is valuable and insightful, it does not fully capture the unique and lived experiences of different Multiracial populations. … Following Root’s lead, this paper focuses exclusively on the research literature of other racially mixed people (e.g., Latinx-White; Asian-Latinx) to examine similarities and differences in how other racially mixed categories of people experience their Multiraciality and how this is shaped by peers and others in one’s social sphere of influence. — Tatiana I.
