Multiracial students have unique needs that are not being met in
schools, because teachers and school personnel assume that those
needs are the same as those of monoracial minority children.
Children of multiple races are, in fact, "invisible" in the
schools. On school and federal forms, they are racially categorized
based on "one race only," and such categorizations are not limited
to documents. Schools and teachers may unknowingly transmit
monoracial identity messages to multiracial students, which is
problematic for some students who may want to identify with more
than one race. Our racial categorization process reflects the
deficiencies of the concept of race in American culture and needs
to be renegotiated. The multiracial child is a microcosm of the
American cultural identity. Current racial categorization of
multiracial children reflects a society that is still renegotiating
its own racial and ethnic identities, and these children bear the
burdens of the difficulties. As America continues to become
increasingly populated by diverse peoples, what it means to be
American is in transition. Americans are moving away from a fixed
notion of the American cultural identity toward an expanded, more
inclusive resolution.
