About Us: Our Motto Bill Of Rights For Racially Mixed Peoples
By Maria P P Root
I HAVE THE RIGHT...
- Not to justify my existence in this world.
- Not to keep the races separate within me.
- Not to be responsible for people's discomfort with my physical ambiguity.
- Not to justify my ethnic legitimacy.
I HAVE THE RIGHT...
- To identify myself differently than strangers expect me to identify.
- To identify myself differently from how my parents identify me.
- To identify myself differently from my brothers and sisters.
- To identify myself differently in different situations.
I HAVE THE RIGHT...
- To create a vocabulary to communicate about being multiracial.
- To change my identity over my lifetime -- and more than once.
- To have loyalties and identification with more than one group of people.
- To freely choose whom I befriend and love.
