Multiracial Culture

People don’t need to fit a mold that other people think they should fit. In this essay, I will argue that every culture has its preferred description of human distinction, but there is no ideal title to their racial background. The United States is known for its multicultural abundance. But to that, there are a lot of disputes concerning the proper titles to those who share more than one heritage background.
