Will America Ever Embrace Racial Ambiguity? | Alexis Myers | TEDxFurmanU

Being of mixed race in America is tough, and Alexis Myers understands. In her talk she challenges your expectations of people of mixed race and the challenges they face in today’s society. The story of people of mixed-race is one of suppressed identity and delayed self-discovery. People of mixed-race have learned to become shape-shifters in a society where they are ostracized for categorizing themselves with one group versus another. Alexis will explore instances where mixed-race individuals attempt to use their status and abilities to help certain people groups, only to be met by an unwelcoming America in her talk, “Will America Ever Embrace Racial Ambiguity?”

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
