Biracial and bicultural children and youth Children who are biracial, that is, are adopted into a family from a different race or have parents from two different races, and this group has increased by 32 percent since 2000 (Humes, Jones, & Ramirez, 2011). They face unique challenges in forging an ethnic identity (Umana- Taylor et al., 2004). With a white American mother and a black African father, U.S. President Barack Obama struggled with identity issues for many years. As he describes in his book, Dreams from My Father, he finally settled on a black identity but only after a childhood and adolescence in which he was unsure of his place in the wider society. Was he black? Was he white? However, many individuals of mixed race choose a multiracial identity which recognizes their mixed heritage. According to Townsend et al. (2012), the middle class is more likely than the working class to espouse a biracial identity, as are students attending majority white schools. A positive multiracial identity is linked to good psychological health including higher self-esteem, a higher sense of efficacy, and lower stereotype vulnerability than those who opt for a single identity (Binning et al., 2009; Shih et al., 2007). It is important to note that racial identities are changeable and more multiracial identity individuals switch than those who choose a single racial self (Doyle & Kao, 2007). Need Assignment Help?
