I have done research on the lives of biracial children for over 3 months. After conducting my research and doing an interview, I still believe biracial children have a harder life than children born of one race. I think biracial children not only have to face racism but they also have to overcome identity issues that they will be faced with during some point of their lives.
I think its important for the parents of biracial children to make sure their children are educated about racism. Educate them about the customs and heritage of all the races that the child is apart of. And most of all, make sure their children know how special they really are! By doing this, when their children are faced with racism or an identity issue the children will have an easier time going through the ordeal and still maintain a positive image about themselves.
I hope with these blogs and the essays I have written, people have become aware of how important it is to treat everyone with respect! Everyone wants to feel accepted! Biracial children are faced with many obstacles every day...let's not make racism one of those obstacles anymore!
