Talk:Multiracialism

message: Eh? i always understood Multiracialism to be different to Multiculturalism, in that people from different original races or cultures live in a place, but are "integrated" into the culture of that race, an example might be the descendants of the earliest Indian immigrants into Britain. A "when in Rome..." type situation. 86.129.63.68 19:24, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I think this topic is something to be addressed, but a lot of your sections seem to rely more on general opinion rather than facts. The first two sections need references to support their claims. Furthermore your first reference link no longer exists and needs to be updated. Additionally, you say broad statements like, "The majority of families seek to help their children to identify themselves as multiracial". I believe this statement to be inaccurate. The section "Debate over a multiracial background" could be expanded on outlining the struggles of the multiracial identity. While still remaining a neutral stance you could expand more on the benefits, but be weary of the harmful effects of fetishizing mixed-raced children. SimBerg21 (talk) 19:29, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citations

message: I think that this article could benefit from incorporating more country-specific examples of multiracialism and its impacts-- especially since race is a social construct and the connotations attached to race change depending on which society you're considering. I intend to further develop the framework that is in the existing article while adding a sub about multiracialism in Brazil. I'll be referencing the Multiculturalism article as there is a brief segment on Brazil, and I will also be adding additional references. The full list of these references is in my user page if anyone is interested. --Tmsloan (talk) 05:47, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: Additional Perspectives on Multiracialism

message: I've gone ahead and edited the lead of this article based upon what I've suggested above and in my sandbox. I've built around what the original lead had, but I found it necessary to remove segments such as the definition of 'multiracial' and the conversation on 'multiculturalism' as they were not sourced and did not contribute substantially to the definition of 'multiracialism.' --Tmsloan (talk) 21:29, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Editing the Article's Lead

message: Great job on this article! I think this is a very important topic and the edits you made expanded the literature available here on Wikipedia. I especially liked your explanation of the history of Brazil's racial classifications in the "Brazil" subsection and how you acknowledged the point of race being a social and political construct used to bring about status assignments and resource allocation in the "conceptual history" section. 
I think that the article is written with a more academic tone that could isolate some readers without background knowledge on the topic. It may be helpful to simplify complex sentences and provide explanations and concrete examples for the more theoretical ideas. Additionally, there were some grammatical errors throughout the article. This may be due to the complexity of their composition. It may be helpful to reread the parts added, even out-loud, to notice the difference in sentence- verb agreement and other grammatical fixes. 
Overall, I really like reading this article and think you did a good job with an important topic! Good luck with the rest of your edits! Mkhurley19 (talk) 20:40, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
