What is it like being of mixed race in America?

http://soundcloud.com/maryhobbbs/amandas-life


What are you? For some the answer is as simple as white, black, chinese, italian etc. However, with the number of interracial marriages in America continuing to grow, the number of young people identifying themselves as multiracial is on the rise. Gone are the days of the one drop rule. Multiracial Americans are one of the fastest growing demographic groups.This short documentary looks at the life of one mixed young woman. She is half white and half mexican. I looked at some of the struggles she experiences as well as some of the good things she has experienced as a young person of mixed descent.
