Squeezing into one racial box, choosing one race and denying another, and ultimately changing the way one has come to identify as a person, makes life for the multiracial individual more difficult than it ought to be. Many institutions have come to understand the importance of racial complexities and have accommodated the need to “check all that apply.” For example, after much debate, the Census Bureau finally allowed respondents to identify all their racial groups on the 2000 Census.

The oil sands in Canada and Venezuela are extensive, but the Canadian operations to convert the deposits into transportable oil consume large amounts of natural gas, which is in short...
...experiences, and talents.” The first two of these three characteristics are certainly shaped by race, but they are not encapsulated by it. Rather, it’s an applicant’s background—in the broadest sense—with which the admissions process ought to be concerned...
