Association Of MultiEthnic Americans
The Association of MultiEthnic Americans (AMEA) is an international collaboration of community organizations. With dedication to advocacy and education on behalf of the mixed-race community, AMEA works to promote a community of acceptance and equality. History On July 4, 1986, the ''Organizing Committee for a National Association of MultiEthnic Americans'' was formed by representatives of local mixed-race groups, which emerged during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Multiracial
Mixed race people are people of more than one race or ethnicity. A variety of terms have been used both historically and presently for mixed race people in a variety of contexts, including ''multiethnic'', ''polyethnic'', occasionally ''bi-ethnic'', ''Métis'', '' Muwallad'', ''Colored'', '' Dougla'', '' half-caste'', '' ʻafakasi'', ''mestizo'', '' Melungeon'', '' quadroon'', ''octoroon'', '' sambo/zambo'', ''Eurasian'', '' hapa'', '' hāfu'', ''Garifuna'', '' pardo'' and '' Guran''. A number of these terms are now considered offensive, in addition to those that were initially coined for pejorative use.
