Abstract
The second decade of the 21st century highlighted the complexity of teaching remotely while in the midst of not only a global pandemic, but also an enduring racism crisis. Influenced by the socio-cultural milieu, online classrooms can be seen as microcosms of the broader society. Consequently, educators have felt the burden of grappling with multiculturalism and diversity within their classrooms and institutions; this can be especially difficult when teaching online.

Examining multiculturalism and diversity through the lens of the student can help educators better serve their online learners.
