Mixed Lingo - part 4

More Mixed-Related Terms That You've Been Waiting For!

Hi friends!  We've got another installment of the "Mixed Lingo" series for your reading pleasure.  To go along with the "Growing Up Mixed" blog's post on the intersection of mixed-related issues and other social justice areas (get up to date at Social Justice for Mixed Folks!), I selected more social justice-y terms this time.

Let the fun begin!

Social Justice for Mixed Folks

Mixed Folks and Social Justice: Intersection!

Hi friends!  I noticed that the “Mixed Lingo” posts have been pretty popular (part 1, part 2, part 3).  My work as an intern at my school’s multicultural center introduced me to social justice and the terms that I put in the “Mixed Lingo” series.

In this post, we’ll get acquainted with social justice and how it applies to multiracial, multiethnic, blended, mixed folks.

Mixed Lingo - Part 2

More Mixed Lingo!

Hey friends!  I noticed that the original "Mixed Lingo" post has been pretty popular with y'all (found here).

I decided to expand on the list of useful terms when discussing multiracial, multiethnic, mixed issues.  Can you have too much of a good thing? Nonsense! :P

Mixed: Terms We'll Be Using

Hey there!  Before we get started on the "growing up multiracial and/or multiethnic (mixed)," let's get to know some mixed lingo.

Indentity: Your identities are how you describe yourself.  Identities often include things like race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, etc.  For example, I identify as a multiracial and multiethnic woman.  These are only some of my indentities.

Your identities are your own.  You are the only person who can identify yourself as anything.  There are no hard and fast rules for identities.  Identities can be fluid.  Feel free to share or not share your identities.
