Scenario

When mixed race identity creates belonging challenges in multiple communities

I'm mixed race and my white relatives keep asking me to explain racism to them but my Black relatives say I'm not Black enough to understand real discrimination and I feel homeless in my own identity.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Multiracial people can find themselves perpetually positioned as outsiders to their own heritage communities.
