Mixed Race Studies

Scholarly perspectives on the mixed race experience.

Leading academics say there are some signs that Britain is the real melting pot these days, with people from ethnic minorities far more likely to marry someone from the white majority than in the US, and Britons far more comfortable calling themselves mixed-race than they would be in the United States.

Rachael Jolley, “The melting pot generation: How Britain became more relaxed on race,” Brisith Future, (December 12, 2012): 8. http://www.britishfuture.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/The-melting-pot-generation.pdf.

Sucks that this needs repeating: “Black” “White” “Asian” “African” “European” are not biological groupings/categories or proxies thereof. Thus using such labels in genetic analyses is error laden. Great paper showing (yet again) how and why this is the case soon.
