I was reading the New York Times online today and I came across an interesting article concerning the new issues people are having in identifying themselves as multiracial. Many people who are of multiple races feel the need to choose which race to identify themselves with for personal reasons concerning their own sense of identity. I just thought this article was interesting and worth reading. It reminded me of what WEB du Bois was saying about trying to fit in with the culture around him, about trying to be both American and Black. It also reminded me of Obama's speech on race that we watched on Friday where he asserted that he was just as much a white man as he was a black man although politics and the media advertise otherwise.
check out the article here.
