  • Summary

  • In the third episode of On Being Biracial, hosts Daralyse Lyons and Malcolm Burnley and their guests answer an essential question for multiracial people: Is our racial identity fixed, or is it fluid?

    In this episode, you will learn:

    • Why the U.S. Census and other demographers are carefully embracing mixed-race or multiracial options in the racial data gathered in surveys.

    • How group-identity categorization within the queer community has provided a helpful framework for many mixed-race people to understand their racial identity.

    • Why identity suppression, denial, and restriction by society can harm multiracial individuals and others.

    • What sociological research confirms about the fluidity of identity labels among multiracial people.

    This season's interviewees are: Ashanti Martin, Azaria Keys, Bárbara Idalissee Abadía-Rexach, Carter O'Brien Ford, Cat Dyson, Chantelle Fitzgerald, Charlotte Gill, David Ryan Barcega Castro-Harris, Drew Allmond, Evan Fong Jaroff, Hannah Wallace, Ian Burnley, Jewel Love, John Blake, Jourdin Davis, Kimberly Ortiz-Hartman, Lise Funderburg, Mat Johnson, Nora Elmarzouky, Rachael Go, Rachel Lauren, Samonte Cruz, Sandra Clark, Sarabella Rocha, Sarah Gaither, Sienna McWhirter, Tyla Taylor, Tyler Sloane, W Kamau Bell, Zein Hassanein, and Mark Hugo Lopez.
