This phenomenon isn't entirely pernicious; it is at least partly rooted in our concern that growing up with a fractured identity is hard on kids. The psychologist J.D. Teicher summarized this view in a 1968 paper: "Although the burden of the Negro child is recognized as a heavy one, that of the Negro-White child is seen to be even heavier...

In fact, a new paper in the Journal of Social Issues shows that multiracial adolescents who identify proudly as multiracial fare as well as - and, in many cases, better than - kids who identify with a single group, even if that group is considered high-status (like, say, Asians or whites).

...infinite, continuous flux,” says artist Sara J. Stern ’12, who tailored her work specifically to the space. “Transparency, reflection, shadow, and light are all central to [the piece].” Directly across from this sculpture, an enormous charcoal-on-paper piece utilizes traditional sketching and shadowing techniques to capture the versatility of human movement within the artistic confines of a linear plane. A few steps down the corridor reveal equally fascinating creations, from faces with penetrating expressions illuminated against silkscreen backdrops to eight colorful digital animations looping on a video...
