Hi everyone, I'm sharing this opportunity with anyone who is interested. As a mixed-race high school student, I never felt like there was a community or representation for those who shared my identity. So, I decided to create The Color of Us. The Color of Us is a community for Multiracial and Multicultural youth to express their identities through the mediums of blogs, podcasts, and art. High school students who identify as mixed race/multiracial/multicultural can apply to be a contributor to the platform and have the opportunity to conduct podcast interviews and have their writing published on the website.

Hapa at first seems really comfy and has made a lot of mixed Asians feel more comfortable in their heritage. However it’s began becoming seemingly more appropriative because of its Hawaiian roots and a lot of Hawaiian people finding it offensive for us mixed Asians to call themselves that. I wish we could all collectively make up a new umbrella term.

Hello!

My name is Megan and I would love to hear your opinions on racial justice and activism. This summer, we saw an explosion of protesting and activism following the killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and many others. For many of us, this has sparked reflections, conversations, and behaviors surrounding race and racial justice. We are part of the Communication and Identity lab, comprised of 3 BIPOC women, and we are conducting a study to investigate these racial activism behaviors in 2020.

I invite you to participate in this study if:

• you are at least 18 years old,
• and you live in the U.S.

This is a research project that focuses on understanding your attitudes toward racial justice and activism in 2020. Participation in this study will require approximately 20-30 minutes. You will be asked to complete a short survey through which you will answer questions about demographic information, your racial attitudes, your activism behaviors, and your personal networks. You will complete this survey online via your own personal computer.

Please click the following link to take the survey!:

Thank you!

Hi everyone. I am an undergraduate psychology student with an Asian mother and White father. As other biracial/multiracial people know, racial identity for mixed individuals can be complex and confusing. For my honors thesis, I thought I would look into what factors into how biracial individuals choose to self-identify, so I created this survey. I am posting this here because there may be many mixed-race individuals participating in this subreddit.

So far, it has been quite difficult to recruit a large enough sample, so I am now opening up the survey to whoever fits my criteria (parents from two differing racial backgrounds). The average time spent taking the survey is only 6.5 minutes and many have enjoyed exploring their unique identity. Your participation would be highly appreciated. If you know others who qualify, send them this link: https://scu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dgUraYAz6ZHy4Vn

Thank you!

I am a sociologist and am conducting an interview study on online dating experiences among college students and am hoping to collect a sample of individuals who identify as biracial, multiracial and/or mixed-race. The narratives we have collected thus far have been really important and compelling, so I would hope to see more voices and experiences included in the study. Currently we are most interested in recruiting men who identify as biracial/multiracial/mixed-race and/or hapa as this population remains underrepresented in the data, although anyone who identifies as mixed is welcome to participate regardless of gender identity!

Please consider! All participants will be compensated with a $10 gift card AND will be able to contribute to a really interesting and important study! All interviews are anonymous and teh study has been approved by the institutional review board at UMass and NCSU.

I am multiracial (Asian/White) graduate student looking for volunteers for my dissertation study. Thank you for your time!

Do you have a racial background of two or more races? Does your mixed racial background include White/Caucasian/European-American? Are you at least 18 years old and a U.S. resident?

If you answered yes to all of these questions, please consider participating in an online survey aiming to understand multiracial individuals’ experiences with diversity. The survey will take approximately 30 minutes to complete.

The survey can be accessed through the following link: https://wsu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6te5X5YLYGsM04t

Upon completion of the survey, you will have the option of being entered into a raffle to win a $25.00 gift card. Your participation is completely voluntary and can be terminated at any time without penalty. Responses are anonymous and there are no known risks associated with participation. There are no anticipated risks with participation in this study. Please contact Jennifer Moniz, doctoral student at Washington State University at jmoniz@wsu.edu if you have further questions or concerns.

I've enjoyed reading Michael Omi's work since he focuses on racial classification in the US and what racial classification might look like in the future. At first, I thought the idea of enlargement of the white racial group seemed ridiculous, but if you look at the various definitions of whiteness employed in the US, it doesn't seem so crazy. Already, I've seen whiteness being linked with "Hispanic", so I wonder whether it might encompass other groups in the future.

According to the 2010 Census, nearly 24% of Hawaii's population is multiracial, and many of those have Asian ancestry. 24% - that's almost one in four! I don't know if there's anywhere else on the planet where there is such a high density of hapas.

Are there any Hawaiians reading this sub? Have you ever lived in or visited Hawaii? If so, what was your experience like? Did you feel more comfortable being around other Multiracial Asians?

As Asian? White? Eurasian? Hapa? Biracial? Multiracial? All at once?

For me identity is complex because we simultaneously embody multiple identities, and which one comes to the foreground is constantly shifting based on context. I think this is actually true of everybody, but it is more obvious to us multiracial folks, since "race" as a category is so politically charged and (sometimes literally) in your face.

Happy New Year and hope this sub nothing but great growth for the new year.

What are you each doing for New Year's Day?
