It’s often perceived that ethnic minorities get preferential treatment by employers or schools striving for diversity or equal opportunity.īut that doesn’t mean that biracial applicants are playing the system - we’re just being honest about who we are!Īccording to the University of Washington Office of Enrollment, only 8.5% of UW students mark two or more ethnicities. I have heard complaints that people who are marginally ethnic will identify as being an ethnic minority on paper, possibly for the benefits. In the end, I decided that I would be Hispanic for the day, since it seemed pretty inaccurate to say that I’m “white (not Hispanic)” because I am, erm, also Hispanic. Yet throughout my childhood, there were three constants: family, tortillas and beans. Yet here I was, deciding which side of the family to pledge my allegiance.Īs I pondered my own identity, I sifted through my childhood memories. But it had been awhile, and I was under the impression that it was now acceptable to belong to two or more ethnicities on paper.
Its not like this is the first time this has come up. I cannot pick just one race to identify with without throwing out half of my family. Like millions of other American’s, I’m biracial – my father is white and my mother is Hispanic.
I had the choice of being Hispanic, white (not Hispanic), black (not Hispanic), Asian (not Hispanic), Native American (not Hispanic), and Pacific Islander (not Hispanic). There were six options, but I wasn’t supposed to pick more than one.

The review outlines a theoretical scaffold for the development of conjugated DPP-based materials, which have multiple potential applications. In this feature article, the synthesis pathway of DPP-based materials and their applications in organic field-effect transistors, photovoltaic devices, sensors, two photo-absorption materials, and others are reviewed, and possible future applications are discussed. Later, DPP containing materials were found to have potential other applications, typically in electronic devices, which attracted the attention of scientists. In the 1970s, DPP was developed and used only in inks, paints, and plastics. Abstract View referencesĭiketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) and its derivatives have been widely studied in the past few years due to its intrinsic physical and chemical properties, such as strong electron-withdrawing, deep color, high charge carrier mobility, strong aggregation, good thermal-/photo-stability.
