Mixed Race Studies

Scholarly perspectives on the mixed race experience.

When surveying youth in foster care, almost one in ﬁve changed their racial self-identiﬁcation over a one-year period. This reﬂects a higher rate of change over a shorter period of time than has been reported in the literature for adolescents in the general public. In contrast, the increased likelihood for Native American and multi-racial youth in the current study to change their racial categorization mirrors ﬁndings from earlier studies involving similarly-aged youth; the ﬁndings also suggest that a signiﬁcant proportion of Hispanic youth change their ethnic categorization as well. Findings from the current study further highlight high rates of discordance between the racial and ethnic self-identiﬁcation of Native American, Hispanic and multi-racial youth, and how agencies (school and child welfare) categorize them. For example, the level of discordance between self-reports of Native American youth and the racial designations made by child welfare was 90% at Time 1; youth–child welfare discordance was even higher (96.1%) for multiracial youth. Similarly, Hispanic youth were misclassiﬁed by the child welfare system over half of the time, and by school approximately one-third of the time.
