Talk:Multiracialism

Untitled
Eh? i always understood Multiracialism to be different to Multiculturalism, in that people from different original races or cultures live in a place, but are "integrated" into the culture of that race, an example might be the descendants of the earliest Indian immigrants into Britain. A "when in Rome..." type situation. 86.129.63.68 19:24, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Singapore should be removed from the lead article. Take a look at the racism by country article or at a variety of sources (www.asianracism.blogspot.com hosts several articles that are relevant) about racism and migration policies in Singapore and you will quickly see it should be removed. 121.79.19.4 (talk) 22:47, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Additional Perspectives on Multiracialism
I think that this article could benefit from incorporating more country-specific examples of multiracialism and its impacts-- especially since race is a social construct and the connotations attached to race change depending on which society you're considering. I intend to further develop the framework that is in the existing article while adding a sub about multiracialism in Brazil. I'll be referencing the Multiculturalism article as there is a brief segment on Brazil, and I will also be adding additional references. The full list of these references is in my user page if anyone is interested. --Tmsloan (talk) 05:47, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hello, all! I've decided to change my approach in regards to editing this article. I've included additional information in my sandbox if anyone is interested or has suggestions. --Tmsloan (talk) 03:03, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Editing the Article's Lead
I've gone ahead and edited the lead of this article based upon what I've suggested above and in my sandbox. I've built around what the original lead had, but I found it necessary to remove segments such as the definition of 'multiracial' and the conversation on 'multiculturalism' as they were not sourced and did not contribute substantially to the definition of 'multiracialism.' --Tmsloan (talk) 21:29, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Peer Review of Article
Great job on this article! I think this is a very important topic and the edits you made expanded the literature available here on Wikipedia. I especially liked your explanation of the history of Brazil's racial classifications in the "Brazil" subsection and how you acknowledged the point of race being a social and political construct used to bring about status assignments and resource allocation in the "conceptual history" section. I think that the article is written with a more academic tone that could isolate some readers without background knowledge on the topic. It may be helpful to simplify complex sentences and provide explanations and concrete examples for the more theoretical ideas. Additionally, there were some grammatical errors throughout the article. This may be due to the complexity of their composition. It may be helpful to reread the parts added, even out-loud, to notice the difference in sentence- verb agreement and other grammatical fixes. Overall, I really like reading this article and think you did a good job with an important topic! Good luck with the rest of your edits! Mkhurley19 (talk) 20:40, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

I really enjoyed reading this article. I think your edit greatly improved the overall quality of this article by creating a broader and more global point of view. I really look forward to reading your future edits for the US section and the last section. I think you could benefit from creating hyperlinks to other articles and linking your articles from other articles to attract more traffic. You can 1) create a link to your article at articles like “Multiracial” to increase traffic. 2) link to more articles in your article including “racial stratification”. Besides, I am wondering if breaking down your lead paragraph into a different subsection will be better for general audience to understand the topic. It may be helpful if you can break down the denser paragraphs into shorter paragraphs. Xli1218 (talk) 05:06, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
