Chinese Interracial Families

Abstract

In an increasing multi-cultural America, the Chinese population as well as the number of Chinese interracial families has signifiantly risen among all other nationalities. Since the 1940's, the Chinese population has soared in numbers. There have been many contributing factors. These factors of assimilation include World War II, the Immigration Act of 1965, the Civil Rights Movement, and the ruling of anti-miscegenation laws as unconstitutional. But despite this continual increase over the years, many Chinese and Chinese interracial families still face barriers such as subtle and blatant racism. Fr_om history and current statistics we see these families have overcome many obstacles or barriers to become what they are today. Barriers nor negative factors should block the way of Chinese interracial families because these families are special in their own way.
