Multiracial families are diverse and their experiences with racism and discrimination vary depending on their social position. The intersections of race, class, and gender affect multiracial families in a variety of ways. Similar to monoracial minority families, multiracial families experience racism and discrimination from society, however, due to their mixed cultural heritage their experiences are unique and multilayered. Further, unlike any other family, multiracial families also can experience racism and discrimination from within their family. In this paper, we discuss the inherent diversity within multiracial families and the unique experiences of racism and discrimination they encounter. We then introduce and explicate, what we term, the dual realities experienced by individuals in multiracial families.

多种族家庭是多样化的，他们遭受种族主义和歧视的经历因社会地位而异。种族、阶级和性别的交叉以多种方式影响着多种族家庭。与单种族少数族裔家庭类似，多种族家庭也经历着来自社会的种族主义和歧视，然而，由于他们的混合文化遗产，他们的经历是独特的和多层次的。此外，与任何其他家庭不同，多种族家庭也可能在家庭内部遭受种族主义和歧视。在本文中，我们讨论了多种族家庭内在的多样性以及他们遇到的种族主义和歧视的独特经历。然后，我们介绍并解释我们所说的多种族家庭中的个人所经历的双重现实。
