Little research with White mothers of biracial daughters and sons exists globally. Research that does exist, including work from Harman, Levine-Rasky, Reay et al., Robinson-Wood and Twine indicates there are some common experiences with racism and discrimination. Experiences result in narratives that are created within the national cultures where the mothers reside. Narratives from White mothers of biracial daughters and sons interviewed in the United States (US) were analysed using the following categories: (1) colliding with White privilege; (2) colluding with White privilege; and (3) contending with White privilege. Analysis revealed that White privilege operates as a social mechanism whereby society reproaches White mothers of biracial daughters and sons for having transgressed dominant social norms. Efforts toward dismantling White privilege in the US education system that include multicultural teacher training can benefit by addressing this dynamic.
