美国人正在平淡无奇地成为一个种族多元化的民族。不仅在美国有许多不同的民族，而且越来越多的人开始拥有并认识到自己内心的多重种族特征。目前关于种族的文献是不充分的，因为如果假设人们只有单一的种族身份，而事实上，许多人，比如太平洋岛民美国人，长期以来都拥有多种族身份。根据调查数据、访谈和文献资料，本文分析了太平洋岛民美国多民族认同的特点：它是情境性的；个人在实际生活中通常简化了他们的种族；具有多个祖先的人被接纳为群体成员的基础与只有一个祖先的人大致相同。太平洋岛民美国种族的基础包括血统、家庭、习俗和地点。
Americans are vapidly becoming an ethnically plural people. Not only are there many different peoples in the U.S., but a sharply increasing number of individuals are coming to have and to recognize multiple ethnic strains within themselves. The current literature on ethnicity is inadequate, for if assumes that people have only single ethnic identities when, in fact, many people, like Pacific Islander Americans, have long held multiethnic identities. Drawing on survey data and interviews as well as literary sources, this article analyzes the features of Pacific Islander American multiethnic identity: it is situational; individuals commonly simplify their ethnicity in practical living; and people with multiple ancestries are admitted to group membership on much the same basis as people with single ancestries. The bases of Pacific Islander American ethnicity include ancestry, family, practice, and place.
