The October issue of National Geographic has a feature article on racial identity for multiracial Americans: The Changing Face of America.  Here’s an excerpt:

She points out that even then she has revealed only a fraction of her identity, which includes a Long Island childhood, a Puerto Rican adoptive family, an African-American sister, and a nascent acting career. The attention she gets for her unusual looks can be both flattering and exhausting. “It’s a gift and a curse,” Seda says.
