Understanding multiracial identities
<p>This week, we’re sharing our interview with <a href="https://hannahkimphilosophy.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Hannah H. Kim</a>, a recent Stanford Ph.D. graduate, who wrote <a href="https://www.stanforddaily.com/2021/02/18/does-it-matter-that-obama-and-harris-are-multiracial/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">an op-ed in The Stanford Daily</a> about multiracialism or the discussion of identifying as more than one race. Kim, who identifies as Korean American and was born in the U.S., began her journey understanding multiracial identities shortly after meeting her now-husband, who identifies as multiracial. “So what <em>are</em> you, anyway?” she <a href="https://www.stanforddaily.com/2021/02/18/does-it-matter-that-obama-and-harris-are-multiracial/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">recalls</a> asking him in a cringy way in their early days.</p>
<p>And thus launched Kim’s journey into understanding the bias our society has for “monoracial normativity” (the assumption that being one race is “normal”) and the complexities of multiracial identity in America today.</p>
