A person self-identifying with ancestry from two or more races is described as which term?

Explanation:
When someone has ancestry from more than one racial group, the term described is multi-racial. This label explicitly indicates two or more races, which fits the scenario of identifying with more than one racial background. Biracial usually refers to exactly two races, so it’s narrower. Polyracial is uncommon and not commonly used in standard DEI contexts. The hyphenated form “multi-racial” (or the common one-word form “multiracial”) is the usual way to express this broader, inclusive sense of multiple racial identities.
