- W11387639 abstract "Introduction One of the fastest growing sub-groups of students of color at today's colleges and universities is the bi-racial/multiracial population. In fact, it is estimated that one in five new students will identify as bi/multiracial by 2050 (Brown, 2009; Smith & Edmonston, 1997). How one identifies themselves and is identified by others can impact biracial students' college experience and the groups to which biracial students interact. Some biracial students come to college from families where their racial identities were discussed very little or not at all (Talbot, 2008). College, therefore, is a place where many students are exploring their racial identities and how they wish to self-identify. Many factors can influence how one chooses to identify. Parenting/ family practices and experiences, physical appearance, cultural knowledge, and peer culture have all been reported in the literature (Renn, 2008). Thornton (1996) suggests influential factors such as: proximity to the ethnic group, extent of contact with the in-group, racial balance of the community in which one grows up, political orientation of the parents, level of commitment to and involvement in the both racial groups, and whether or not one's self-identity is validated by others. Physical appearance plays an important role in whether or not one is accepted into the group. Multiracial students can feel marginalized because of their physical appearance. When attempting to identify with the mono-racial group that is part of their identity, biracial students can experience horizontal hostility from the group they want to be accepted by (Plaza, 2011). A biracial Black/White student with darker skin and curly hair, for example, may be labeled by other students, faculty, and staff as a Black person even if the student identifies as both of their heritages. On the other hand, students who are appearing may have difficulty being accepted as a person of color in ethnic minority groups (Renn, 2000). Other students, staff, and teachers may even challenge the student's biracial status. While multiracial students may not make decisions based on their appearance, others may indeed do so (Brunsma & Rockquemore, 2001; Lyda, 2008; White, 2006). Based on physical appearance, biracial students can be labeled as imposters by members of each mono-racial group (Williams, 2013). Wallace (2003) remarks that Mixed heritage students face unique identity issues within the microclimate of the college campus, where interethnic and interracial group relations take on a heightened intensity (p. 87). Friendship choices often become problematic during the teenage years when adolescents tend to form cliques and there is pressure to become part of a group (Tatum, 1997). Biracial children can feel pressured to choose one racial group over another, adding additional angst to the feelings of uncertainty that most adolescents experience (Nakazawa, 2003). Doyle and Kao (2007) used the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health to study the friendship choices of a large number of multiracial adolescents. They found different patterns in the selection of one's best friend depending on the combination of races in the multiracial person. Multiracial Native Americans showed stronger tendencies to select other multiracials as their best friend when compared to other multiracial combinations. However, multiracials with one white parent had a greater tendency to select a white best friend, and multiracials with one black parent had a greater tendency to select a black best friend. Decisions related to friendships can intensify when students arrive on college campuses. Many universities have established identity-based student organizations and student service offices specifically designed to focus on the needs and provide supportive services for mono-racial minority groups. These organizations are outgrowths of the cultural nationalist movements of the 1960s and early 1970s and offer supportive services to mostly minority students (Literte, 2010). …" @default.
