Communities of multiracial descent
Multiracial individuals in the U.S. come from a wide variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Due to the diverse makeup of individuals within these communities, it can be difficult to paint a picture of overall belief systems and experiences. Despite this, as a rapidly growing population, we are gaining more and more understanding of what it means to be multiracial in the U.S.
