Multiracialism

Multiracialism is an ideology used by people who want to acknowledge that most societies are composed of people from more than one races or different cultural background, a diverse mix of people with differences in ethnicity, language, culture, religion, or traditions, but are seeking to avoid supporting the policies and ideology associated with Multiculturalism.

Countries such as Malaysia, South Africa, United States and Singapore are good examples of societies that promote multi-ethnic and diverse populations.

In the United States, the federal agency, or Office of Management & Budget are the ones who determine racial and ethnic classifications. Examples of racial groups in the United States: White, Black, American Indian or Alaskan Native, Asian or Pacific Islander and Hispanic. In the 1960s and 1970s, the Bureau of Census adopted its racial classification scheme that showed that approximately 10 percent of Americans considered themselves non-white, and of that group, nearly all considered themselves as black. Since then, things have changed such as the notion of race due to an increase in intermarriage, and an increase in the growth of the Asian American and multiethnic Latino American populations. This resulted in one out of four Americans considering themselves White, Black, Asian, and/or Latino American.
