multiracialism

The terms multiracial and mixed-race describe people whose ancestries come from multiple races.
According to Michael Levin, most people can be clearly identified as belonging to one race or another, meaning that most people can trace at least 75% of their ancestors to the same geographic region associated with a major racial group; however, Levin insists that anyone with fewer than 75% of their ancestors originating from the same broad geographic region should be considered multiracial.
Countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, are good examples of societies that promote multi-ethnic and diverse populations. Over the past four decades, the increase of immigration has led to the increase of racial and ethnic diversity in the United States.
In the United States, the federal agency, or Office of Management Budget are the ones who determine racial and ethnic classifications. There are four racial groups in the United States: White, Black, American Indian, and Asian . 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.
