Also as unfortunate are the overt and covert deficit notions held by teachers and administrators towards bicultural students; deficit notions, extended, by assocation, to bicultural parents.

noun
A person belonging to two cultures.
Compared with ethnic affirmers, biculturals are better educated; have higher incomes, socioeconomic status, and self-esteem; and are more involved in local social networks.
