Has there been a consertive effort by Multiracial peoples to lobby for a
Multiracial box to check off when filling out forms? As a
Irish/Mexican/Indian/French Canadian/Sephardic Jew, I have a difficult time
filling out these forms, so I usually mark other. Now that I'm married to a
West Indian/Chinese/Scottish/Spanish/East Indian woman and we have two children,
imagine the schizophrenia that goes on around our house when it comes time to
fill out school forms, etc…!
Editor: Over the last few years much has been done in this regard. See:
How to Get Involved in the Multiracial Movement.
