Multiracial Identity: Single Ancestry People`s Prejudices in Fred Wah`s Diamond GrillNameCourse numberInstructor`s nameDatePeople with multiple racial ancestries are condemned to a lifelong search for their identity. They are also condemned to a lifelong search for acceptance into a particular race and they may sometimes be labeled as having no race. The paradox remains that multiracial people belong to multiple races and are at the same time considered race-less. Racial prejudices of people of single ancestry consistently communicate to people of multiracial ancestry that they do not belong to any authentic race as they do not fit the full criteria of any particular race.

They experience racialist attitudes from people that expect them to fit into their single grouping.

The racial sentiments were a reaction against the rich Chinese immigrants that were perceived as the causes for rising real estate prices. The Chinese Canadians attracted developers who cleared land and erected architectural designs that were unpleasant to the dominant white Canadians taste for occupation by the Chinese Immigrants from Hong Kong. The whites considered the Chinese people as unpatriotic, materialistic and without regard for the environment amongst other racial prejudices (Lo 100). Social adjustments to assimilate of acculturate Canadian immigrants to either Anglo-conformity or Franco conformity was rampant in the twentieth century. To date, such multicultural policies prevail and they have contributed to intolerance to cultural and racial diversity. Marginalization of certain groups such as the Chinese or Asian races prevails and...
