To complicate matters further, race and ethnicity are difficult to separate at times. There are arguably examples of multiracial ethnicities, as is the case for many Latinx groups.

There is also the case for multiethnic races. In fact, given the four-fold racial classification in common usage in the US white, black, Asian, and Native American , each racial group contains representatives from multiple ethnic groups. The academic arguments of what constitutes culture, race, and ethnicity are not easily resolved.

These arguments are important at times, such as when questions on the US census are crafted. But at other times they obscure more than enlighten our everyday lived reality. As noted above, Latinxs do not readily fit with a more traditional definition of a single racial group. So, back to the terms themselves: multicultural versus multiracial. Why their wide appeal? Ask the youth if they consider these tenets valuable.

Diversity is a stated goal of the Unitarian Universalist Association and many of its member congregations. If the flowers of a garden were all of one color, the effect would be monotonous to the eye; but if the colors are variegated, it is most pleasing and wonderful. The difference in adornment of color and capacity of reflection among the flowers gives the garden its beauty and charm. Therefore, although we are of different individualities, different in ideas and of various fragrances, let us strive like flowers of the same divine garden to live together in harmony.

Even though each soul has its own individual perfume and color, all are reflecting the same light, all contributing fragrance to the same breeze which blows through the garden, all continuing to grow in complete harmony and accord. Become as waves of one sea, trees of one forest, growing in the utmost love, agreement and unity. Because they believe no group is complete without diversity, some Baha'i communities require that all church business be conducted by a diverse group; in fact, no matter how many people are present, there is no quorum without ethnic diversity.

Business is postponed until there are multiple ethnicities present. We found that multiethnic faith communities that integrated culturally diverse ways of worshiping, preaching, and doing ministry were much more able to manage conflict and retain a diverse constituency. Consequently, visitors will likely hear music from their ethnic background and faith tradition.

This literature review begins to connect mixed-race history and theory to educational theory and practice. The purpose of this connection is to examine the mixed-race experience in multicultural education and why it is underreported in current research.

Bridging the gap between multiracial experiences and multicultural education might possibly make education more inclusive, not just for mixed-race students but for all students, because it will bring to the forefront similarities and differences that students, parents, and teachers should understand.

It is most often associated with individual physique, such as skin tone and facial features, as a form of biology. They acknowledge the general public belief that individuals with the same genotype carry the same phenotype, and, yet, argue this is not fact. To use another example, this understanding of genetics among races is analogous to comparing granulated sugar, table salt, and corn syrup. While granulated sugar may look like table salt, chemically it has more in common with corn syrup.

This analogy begins to break down the argument of race as biology.
