In a short video by Pew Research Center, multiracial Americans to share their experiences and opinions about racial identity.

Along with the video, Pew Research Center conducted a survey about racial identity.

The survey found that 21 percent of mixed-race adults have attempted to influence how their race was perceived by others.

“About one-in-ten multiracial adults have talked (12%), dressed (11%) or worn their hair (11%) in a certain way in order to affect how others saw their race. A similar share (11%) says they associated with certain people to alter how others saw their racial background,” Pew Research Center said.

The survey also found that some people have changed whether they identity with one or more races. Of mixed-race adults, 29 percent who currently identify with more than one race say they used to identify with just one race, while 29 percent of people who currently identify with one race say they used to identity with one that one race.
