In the eighth episode of On Being Biracial, hosts Daralyse Lyons and Malcolm Burnley look at the families we're born into and brought into as biracial people, and why those relationships can sometimes be trickier to navigate.
In this episode, you will learn:
How some multiracial households are at greater risk for instability than their monoracial counterparts, while others can be havens for inclusion.
Why hope can be found in the progress of race relations within multiracial families, even while it can feel elusive on a societal scale.
How multiracial relationships and families test relationships with one's extended family members.
How racist stereotypes about interracial families were used in recent history to justify policies and social conditions that kept Black people suppressed and segregated.
Why intergenerational households can be prone to silence, distance, bigotry and hypocrisy.
