A 24-year-old American male of Irish heritage is married to a woman of Japanese heritage. What would their children be considered?
1. Asian American
2. Bicultural
3. Caucasian
4. Asian
Correct Answer: 2
Bicultural refers to the integration of two cultures within the individual. Children whose parents are from two different cultures may grow up in an environment that practices and respects both cultures. Caucasian, Asian, and Asian American do not describe the bicultural mix of a person with American Irish decent and Japanese heritage.
