After reading the article, I truly have had a deeper understanding of the status of multiracial people in the past and had a compassionate feeling for them. To be more specific, the article shows the readers that people in society used different reasons to prove that the multiracial people were not as good as homogeneous people. In other words, people in the past published various articles, claiming that the multiracial people could be unstable and question their possibilities, by using the perspectives from scientific, social, political, and so on, in order to strengthen their power and guarantee their own profits. However, this is such a stereotype and discrimination to the multiracial people because everyone in this world is the same and should be treated equally and fairly. In details, from my own perspective, all types of races in the world have some fields they make the most contribution. However, there are no measurements on them, so it is impossible to compare them and conclude which type of races are better. The multiracial people are not an exception either because there are a lot of multiracial people that are pretty successful and make a significant contribution to society. Therefore, the difference in a race is not a factor that people should use to determine and judge the value of a race because successful people include people from all types of races in society nowadays.
For example, Karen Mok is a well-known artist in China, she has achieved an impressive accomplishment in her singing career, and people even call her the “Diva” and “Queen”. Karen Mok’s parents are European and Chinese, so Karen is a good example of showing that multiracial people can also be very successful in society.
My question is that nowadays, even though multiracial people demonstrate their abilities and good qualities to others, why do some people still have a bias towards them but hide their bias in front of people?
