Morphology

biracialism = biracial (transparent) = bi + racial + ism

Formed by the adjective 'biracial' plus the productive nominalizing suffix '-ism' to denote a doctrine, practice, or condition, so the relation is clear.

Etymology

Biracialism comes from bi- meaning 'two', like in bicycle, plus race meaning 'group of people' and -ism meaning 'belief or practice'. So biracialism is the idea or policy of recognizing, cooperating with, or sharing power between two racial groups.
