Greater Black ancestry increased the likelihood that perceivers categorized biracial targets as Black and perceived targets as fitting Black prototypes (e.g., experiencing racial discrimination, possessing stereotypic traits). These results persisted, controlling for perceptions of phenotype that stem from ancestry information. Perceivers\u2019 beliefs about how society would categorize the biracial targets predicted perceptions of discrimination, whereas perceivers\u2019 beliefs about the targets\u2019 self-categorization predicted trait perceptions. The results of this study support the Black ancestry prototype model of affirmative action, which reveals the downstream consequences of Black ancestry for the distribution of minority resources (e.g., affirmative action) to biracial targets.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/psp.sagepub.com\/content\/early\/2010\/11\/17\/0146167210389473.full.pdf+html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blood Quantum and Perceptions of Black-White Biracial Targets: The Black Ancestry Prototype Model of Affirmative Action Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin Volume 37,\u00a0Number 1 (January 2011) pages 3-14 DOI: 10.1177\/0146167210389473 Diana T.
