Redefining Diversity
"Multiracial children are redefining America. Today,
more multiracial babies are born in states like
California and Washington than any other race except
Caucasian.
 Census
2000 was the first time that Americans could
identify as multiracial, and seven million did so.
However, multiracial youth are rarely recognized on
forms requesting racial information, or in diversity
curriculum.
The
lack of resources that address their unique
challenges is one reason why multiracial children
have the highest rates of physical and sexual abuse
of any racial group, and are among the
fastest growing segments entering the juvenile
justice system."
