Mixed Race Studies

Scholarly perspectives on the mixed race experience.

“My identity was questioned a lot when I was growing up. I never really felt like I fit in anywhere. My mom’s boyfriend, who’s basically my stepdad, is Black. My white friends’ parents wouldn’t have a problem with me, but when they saw my stepdad, they wouldn’t let their kids come over anymore. And in middle school, I was called Medusa, Oreo, and a mutt.

Today, I still get the whole “Oh, you’re not really Black” thing because I’m light-skinned… and probably because I pass as white. Because I grew up with my white mom and I’m light-skinned, people will invalidate the fact that I’m Black. But I think being multiracial is its own thing. I’m not white and I’m not Black. I’m both.” —Tasha Gear, 25, Photographer
