I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

The community saw much of its growth during and after World War II, in part because of African Americans migrating from southern states to work in shipyards and factories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Established in 1853 and named after a teacher who moved to California during the Gold Rush, Russell City at its peak in the post-World War II years “was more of a community and not a city. It was kind of a town in a way,” said Diane Curry, executive director and curator at the Hayward Area Historical Society. “The title of ‘city’ is a misnomer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11898131\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 850px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2025/12/790337790.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11898131\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2025/12/790337790.jpg\" alt=\"A black and white photograph of an airport and town.\" width=\"850\" height=\"584\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/12/790337790.jpg 850w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/12/790337790-800x550.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/12/790337790-160x110.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Black-and-white aerial photograph from 1948 of Hayward Airport and Russell City. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the Hayward Area Historical Society)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The community was home to numerous businesses, a hog ranch, sheep herders, nightclubs, a church, a library, a school and its own fire department. In the 1950s, however, all that changed when Alameda County and Hayward city officials declared Russell City a “blight” and decided to transform the area into an industrial business park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Sam Nava, former Russell City resident\"]‘People lived and worked together, and watched out for each other’s children.

We all saw each other as equal.’[/pullquote]Despite pushback from residents who had unsuccessfully petitioned officials to provide sewage and electricity and to pave the dirt roads, local governments began forcibly relocating residents and bulldozed the entire community in 1963. Many families ended up in Kelly Hill, East Oakland and other neighboring communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I call it cultural genocide. They took all the street names of Russell City and put in names like ‘Industrial Avenue,'” said Ronnie Stewart, executive director and founder of the West Coast Blues Society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The community had no understanding about lobbying,” Stewart said. “When redevelopment happened, they bought people’s property well below market rate. Homes were burned down. They didn’t want it tied up in court even if residents filed an injunction, which could take over 10 years. They wanted to make sure they didn’t have a place to live.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a city report included with Hayward’s apology resolution, racist, discriminatory \u003ca href=\"https://hayward.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=9957852&GUID=B5709B92-34CB-4807-BC70-49503D4BFD36\">housing practices such as redlining and “racial steering” were a big reason\u003c/a> so many Black and Latino residents wound up in Russell City in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Redlining, a government-sanctioned racist practice that started in the 1930s, encouraged segregation across the nation by applying stricter mortgage requirements for African American homebuyers and other communities of color. It pushed many families to seek refuge in unincorporated areas like Russell City. That discrimination went further with racial steering, where real estate agents and developers actively directed people of color away from white neighborhoods, with prohibitions against the sale of property to non-white homebuyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=lowdown_18486 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/26/2015/07/OaklandBerkeleyHOLCmap-MED-1180x871.jpg']When homes and businesses in Russell City were demolished, residents lost more than just their property. An entire community was uprooted as families were scattered across the Bay Area. Some who were able to resettle relatively close made a concerted effort to keep the bonds forged alive through ongoing gatherings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People lived and worked together, and watched out for each other’s children that would play in the surrounding open fields,” said Sam Nava, a former Russell City resident. Nava, the grandson of Pancho Villa, moved to Russell City with his family in 1942, when he was 2 years old, and fondly remembers the strong sense of community and pride among residents, as well as the nightclub near his house where he would get ice cream during the day as a child.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nava, now 82, remains in close contact with other former residents and their descendants through an annual picnic celebration at Kennedy Park in Hayward where families gather and reflect on the good times in Russell City. The annual picnic had been going on for over 20 years until 2018, when renovations began at the park. The park was scheduled to reopen in the spring of 2021 but was delayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nava created a wall-size cardboard sign filled with photos submitted from former residents and a hand-drawn map of Russell City where descendants could write their names by the streets where they used to live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Russell City is a good example of showing that people, no matter their race or creed, could get along,” said Nava. “Those people were down to earth.

The company, they insist, needs to start treating its nonpaying users like valued customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Algorithms paired with virtually no human customer service have made life difficult for people like Nick Wright of San José. An engineer by day, at night he runs \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/HistoryAlliance/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">History Alliance\u003c/a>, a collection of roughly 30 Facebook history groups that collectively have more than 1 million members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wright says he understands why Facebook uses artificial intelligence to screen for an onslaught of offensive content like racist slurs or calls to violence, material CEO Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly pledged to control over the years. But Wright says the software often functions like a “sledgehammer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They start deleting your member comments. They start deleting threads. We’ve even had our groups deleted by Facebook without comment, without notice,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wright says Facebook deleted his alliance’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/WWIIHistory/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WWII & Military History\u003c/a> group. In retrospect, he says, he presumes there were too many instances when a post or comment included a slur that was common in the 1930s and 1940s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11813372,news_11827831,news_11866331\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]But there was no communication or warning from the company before the group was deleted, he said. Other groups he’s been involved in have also been suspended because, he thinks, its members have posted or shared too frequently, leading Facebook bots to identify them as spammers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They wouldn’t tell us why, and there was no escalation path to recovery. We had 50,000 members and we had no way to engage,” Wright said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wright ended up posting a notice to another group in his alliance focused on San Francisco history.

The company, they insist, needs to start treating its nonpaying users like valued customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Algorithms paired with virtually no human customer service have made life difficult for people like Nick Wright of San José. An engineer by day, at night he runs \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/HistoryAlliance/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">History Alliance\u003c/a>, a collection of roughly 30 Facebook history groups that collectively have more than 1 million members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wright says he understands why Facebook uses artificial intelligence to screen for an onslaught of offensive content like racist slurs or calls to violence, material CEO Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly pledged to control over the years. But Wright says the software often functions like a “sledgehammer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They start deleting your member comments. They start deleting threads. We’ve even had our groups deleted by Facebook without comment, without notice,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wright says Facebook deleted his alliance’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/WWIIHistory/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WWII & Military History\u003c/a> group. In retrospect, he says, he presumes there were too many instances when a post or comment included a slur that was common in the 1930s and 1940s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And then when you find a space with other mixed people who feel the same way, then you kind of take a step back and realize, “Oh, I am a full person. I can be fully Black and fully Filipino.

I was an actress for a while, [and when] I was going out for parts, they always wanted me to be Latina. When I went to Vietnam, they thought I was Vietnamese. When I went to Morocco, they thought I was Moroccan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KB: Racially I think I present as Black. But culturally, I feel like I still hold Filipino traditions and practices. So growing up in a suburban community that’s majority white, a lot of people have these racial assumptions like [from] the get-go. They see one Black person — because there’s not that many Black people in my suburban city — and so they see me and they’re like, “OK, she knows everything. I bet she can rap all the Drake songs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11894918\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11894918\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4645-e1635961139131-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4645-e1635961139131-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4645-e1635961139131-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4645-e1635961139131-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4645-e1635961139131.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Katrina Bullock (far left) and her parents and sister. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Katrina Bullock)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Anti-blackness within mixed families\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>KB: One of the first racialized experiences I remember having was in my elementary school. I went to a school where there was a large Filipino population, and I had a classmate who was Filipino and our moms were friends. We were on the playground playing tag, and I tagged him. I’m sure I said something a little bit arrogant, like, “I got you,” and he turned around, and said, “Well, at least I’m not Black.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[Later] [m]y dad [told my mom], “Well, she is Black. That’s just something that she’s going to learn.” That was just my first experience, understanding the aggression that I would face because I’m Black. From that moment forward, I think my dad made it a really strong point in our household for me to know my Black history. We watched a lot of movies and documentaries about Black history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11894919\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 512px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/Camille-and-family-transamerica-pyramid.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11894919\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/Camille-and-family-transamerica-pyramid.jpeg\" alt=\"A family photo of eight people in front of the TransAmerica Pyramid building in San Francisco.\" width=\"512\" height=\"322\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/Camille-and-family-transamerica-pyramid.jpeg 512w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/Camille-and-family-transamerica-pyramid-160x101.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Camille Seiberling, second from right, and the Filipino side of her family pose in front of San Francisco’s Transamerica Pyramid. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Camille Seiberling)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>CS: I didn’t have that, not only because my parents separated, [but] because they didn’t talk about our history or what they felt about it. I think it has a lot to do with coming out of the ’60s and civil rights and my dad struggling. I feel like if he was there more, then I could talk to him about my feelings and get more information about how he was feeling about things. But I just had my mom’s perspective, really.

I think [for] my grandmother, my dad not always being there [meant] her stereotypes came true and so were reinforced in some way. I remember the store down the street was owned by a Chinese couple.

I had a lot of white peers who were straightening their hair. And so, I just adopted that and straightened my hair until probably like the middle of high school. Once I got to Berkeley — actually [in] my club \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/mixedatberkeley/\">Mixed at Berkeley\u003c/a> — they have a program called The Curly Hair Chronicles, where people talk about their curly hair experiences and how to properly deal with curly and textured hair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11894817\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11894817\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4019-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4019-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4019-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4019-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4019-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4019-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4019-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Katrina Bullock and friends who are part of Mixed at Berkeley, a club for mixed-race students. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Katrina Bullock)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>CS: I wish I had that. One thing that’s good is that my mom didn’t chemically straighten [my or] my sister’s hair. I always say how it looks like ‘Chaka Khan hair’ when it’s down. But I always wear it up, back from my face. I think it’s because of the attention I got, not wanting that attention. When I went to private schools, I was objectified. I got a lot of attention for being mixed or not white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KB: Mixed people are obviously fetishized. I believe that’s a tool of like white supremacy to keep us kind of subjugated and not thinking about the racial hierarchy. Why has our idea of beauty been shaped around being ethnically ambiguous?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My mom actually doesn’t talk about race as much as my dad did. Just recently, we had a conversation about colorism. I was just telling her [that] in Black communities, I benefit from colorism. But in Filipino communities, I’m more like the victim of colorism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Growing up [in] Filipino communities, it was like, “You need to have whitening lotion,” and “You need to pin your nose together so it doesn’t look so wide.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CS: I think that right now the next generation is looking at this stuff and talking about it more, because there are more of us. When I hear Katrina, I feel that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KB: Camille, thank you so much for sharing your story. I absolutely love talking to people who are of the same mix because I think it just showcases how diverse the mixed community is.

And then when you find a space with other mixed people who feel the same way, then you kind of take a step back and realize, “Oh, I am a full person. I can be fully Black and fully Filipino. I can just be truly me without having to deal with other people’s opinions on what my racial makeup is and like what that says about me. It’s just truly who I am.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Race is a lot about how you’re perceived\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>CS: Being mixed, I never really felt that people thought I was African American. I was an actress for a while, [and when] I was going out for parts, they always wanted me to be Latina. When I went to Vietnam, they thought I was Vietnamese. When I went to Morocco, they thought I was Moroccan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KB: Racially I think I present as Black. But culturally, I feel like I still hold Filipino traditions and practices. So growing up in a suburban community that’s majority white, a lot of people have these racial assumptions like [from] the get-go. They see one Black person — because there’s not that many Black people in my suburban city — and so they see me and they’re like, “OK, she knows everything. I bet she can rap all the Drake songs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11894918\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11894918\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4645-e1635961139131-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4645-e1635961139131-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4645-e1635961139131-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4645-e1635961139131-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/IMG_4645-e1635961139131.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Katrina Bullock (far left) and her parents and sister. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Katrina Bullock)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Anti-blackness within mixed families\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>KB: One of the first racialized experiences I remember having was in my elementary school. I went to a school where there was a large Filipino population, and I had a classmate who was Filipino and our moms were friends. We were on the playground playing tag, and I tagged him.

The answer can be complicated, and for multiracial folks who straddle many identities, just being asked the question can feel isolating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, as Fulbeck has explored throughout his career, it can also feel invigorating and rich to belong to multiple communities, and to celebrate that complexity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more than two decades, Fulbeck, a filmmaker and a professor of art at UC Santa Barbara, has traveled around the country to photograph other mixed-race people and let them answer the question “What are you?” in their own words. His two most famous exhibits, “\u003ca href=\"https://hapa.me/\">The Hapa Project\u003c/a>” and “Mixed: Portraits of Multiracial Kids,” both were both featured exhibitions at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3_WmP5zEPI&t=2s\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Hapa Project featured hundreds of identically composed portraits, all shot from the collarbone up, of mixed-race people. Accompanying captions, written in the photo subjects’ own handwriting, featured answers to the question “What are you?” in their own words. Fifteen years later, he followed up and photographed 130 of those participants, to show not only their physical changes over time, but also their differences in perspective and outlook on a rapidly changing world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fulbeck also published a book, “\u003ca href=\"https://janmstore.com/products/hapa-me-catalog\">hapa.me\u003c/a>,” to capture these responses.

And so I had no real cultural footing.” He remembers being bullied for being Chinese, when the Chinese community didn’t seem to accept him either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That created a sense of isolation, and for Fulbeck, not even his family could relate to his experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re mixed, your parents don’t get to tell you what it was like. They don’t get to say, ‘When I was a kid, it was like this,’ because they don’t know,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fulbeck said he struggled as a kid whenever he was asked to fill out a form detailing his race. Back then, those forms didn’t let you choose more than one racial background.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You get that questionnaire, the ‘check one box,’ which is ridiculous,” said Fulbeck. “[For] a 7-year-old to have to pick Mom or Dad is not a fair question. I remember being a little kid thinking like, ‘Well, do I love my dad today or my mom?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That isolation helped spark his portrait series, “The Hapa Project,” where Fulbeck photographed mixed-race people and let them define who they are with a handwritten caption authored by each photo subject. Hapa is a Hawaiian word for “part.” It’s used in Hawaii to describe people who are part Asian or Pacific Islander, though since Fulbeck first debuted his project in 2001, there’s been heated debate over whether the term should be used more generally to define mixed-race people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11894608\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11894608 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/Fulbeck_5-800x576.jpg\" alt=\"Two portraits of the same shirtless woman taken from the collarbone up.

He’s not alone: Most mixed-race people get asked that question all the time. The answer can be complicated, and for multiracial folks who straddle many identities, just being asked the question can feel isolating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, as Fulbeck has explored throughout his career, it can also feel invigorating and rich to belong to multiple communities, and to celebrate that complexity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For more than two decades, Fulbeck, a filmmaker and a professor of art at UC Santa Barbara, has traveled around the country to photograph other mixed-race people and let them answer the question “What are you?” in their own words. His two most famous exhibits, “\u003ca href=\"https://hapa.me/\">The Hapa Project\u003c/a>” and “Mixed: Portraits of Multiracial Kids,” both were both featured exhibitions at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/K3_WmP5zEPI'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/K3_WmP5zEPI'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>The Hapa Project featured hundreds of identically composed portraits, all shot from the collarbone up, of mixed-race people. Accompanying captions, written in the photo subjects’ own handwriting, featured answers to the question “What are you?” in their own words. Fifteen years later, he followed up and photographed 130 of those participants, to show not only their physical changes over time, but also their differences in perspective and outlook on a rapidly changing world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fulbeck also published a book, “\u003ca href=\"https://janmstore.com/products/hapa-me-catalog\">hapa.me\u003c/a>,” to capture these responses. His book “Mixed: Portraits of Multiracial Kids,” featured a forward by Barack Obama’s sister, Maya Soetero-Ng, and an afterward by Cher, known for her famous song “Half-Breed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11894610\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11894610 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/Fulbeck_3-800x576.jpg\" alt=\"Two portraits, side-by-side, of a shirtless man from the collarbone up.

And so I had no real cultural footing.” He remembers being bullied for being Chinese, when the Chinese community didn’t seem to accept him either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That created a sense of isolation, and for Fulbeck, not even his family could relate to his experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re mixed, your parents don’t get to tell you what it was like. They don’t get to say, ‘When I was a kid, it was like this,’ because they don’t know,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fulbeck said he struggled as a kid whenever he was asked to fill out a form detailing his race. Back then, those forms didn’t let you choose more than one racial background.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You get that questionnaire, the ‘check one box,’ which is ridiculous,” said Fulbeck. “[For] a 7-year-old to have to pick Mom or Dad is not a fair question. I remember being a little kid thinking like, ‘Well, do I love my dad today or my mom?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That isolation helped spark his portrait series, “The Hapa Project,” where Fulbeck photographed mixed-race people and let them define who they are with a handwritten caption authored by each photo subject. Hapa is a Hawaiian word for “part.” It’s used in Hawaii to describe people who are part Asian or Pacific Islander, though since Fulbeck first debuted his project in 2001, there’s been heated debate over whether the term should be used more generally to define mixed-race people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11894608\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11894608 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/11/Fulbeck_5-800x576.jpg\" alt=\"Two portraits of the same shirtless woman taken from the collarbone up.
