The United States is known as the place to achieve the American Dream and one of the attributes that make the U.S. distinctive is variety of races and ethnicities from people all across the country. According to Romesh Ratnesar in his essay “Beating the Wrap”; he believes that people of mixed-race ancestry should not identify themselves as belonging to one race or another, but as “multiracial.” On the other hand, I do not agree with this statement.

In the world today, more often than not, couples tend to marry someone who is the total opposite to them because there isn’t competition within the household. In the end, people thrive on the simple individualities that differ from their own self.
