multiracial box on the U.S. Census forms so that people with parents of two races wouldn't have to deny one of them. What do you think should happen here? The person I see in the mirror looks far different from the person described in census categories. That's why I support the coalition of multiracial advocacy groups lobbying the Census Bureau for a multiracial category by the year 2000. Today, the Census acknowledges only four groups: American Indian or Alaskan Native, Asian or Pacific Islander, Black, and White. David Wheeler, a white man with an African American wife and an adopted biracial daughter, is working on a book about the multiracial movement. He says: "Too many black intellectuals are assuming that in a multiracial movement, those who prefer to identify as mixed would not be subject to discrimination and would not fight for the civil rights of others. Separatist ideology rules once again. Why is it so many people can only conceive of a society in which each tribe is only fighting for its rights, and no one exists who might fight for the rights of others? 1) summarize the article (1-2 pages) 2) compare the author’s comments with the conceptualization and operationalization of race used by the Census.
