Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Increasing numbers of people are identifying themselves as biracial or multiracial or, at the very least, explicitly viewing themselves as reflecting a diverse racial and ethnic identity. The diversity of the United States today has made it more difficult for many people to place themselves on the racial and ethnic landscape. The number of people whose ancestry is mixed by anyone's definition is increasing.
Marginality refers to the status of being between two cultures, as in the case of a person whose mother is a Jew and father a Christian. A century ago, Du Bois (1903) spoke eloquently of the double consciousness that Black Americans feelcaught between being a citizen of the United States but viewed as something quite apart from the dominant social forces of society. Although a Filipino woman migrating to the United States may take on the characteristics of her new host society, she may not be fully accepted and may, therefore, feel neither Filipino nor American. Marginalized individuals often encounter social situations in which their identities are sources of tension, especially when the expression of multiple identities is not accepted, and they find themselves being perceived differently in different environments, with varying expectations. Such cases become an additional challenge to identity.
