This is a community for people of mixed racial or ethnic identity and mixed-race couples. Here you can discuss problems, share discoveries, tell your stories, and ask for advice.
It is also a place to talk about the politics of race, colonialism, cultural contact, and ethnic unrest. The discussions can be as personal or as academic as you like. Feel free to join in if you are fascinated with racial issues, regardless of your background.
If you wish to post negative comments, do not hide behind "anonymous" posting. Be yourself, and be realistic. And most of all be tolerant, fair, and supportive.
Note: the presence of potentially offensive words on the interest list is in the interest of stimulating debate about attitudes, and not to hurt. Also, some words function primarily as search words so people can find their way to this community.
lj-cut is a courtesy to the others on here, So please make use of it when you have lengthy posts.
