This study examines an alternate view that mainstream parents also play an important role in transmitting minority ethnicity. It explores this argument using data from <a href=\"New Zealand \" target=\"_blank\">New Zealand<\/a> on the ethnic labels mothers assign to their <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/M%C4%81ori\" target=\"_blank\">M\u0101ori<\/a>-European children.<strong> It finds that European mothers are just as disposed as M\u0101ori mothers to designate their child as M\u0101ori, either exclusively or in combination.<\/strong> Two explanations, grounded in ethnic awareness and gendered inheritance, are proposed. Although neither satisfactorily predicts maternal designation decisions, the readiness of European mothers to identify their child as Maori underscores their role in diffusing M\u0101ori ethnicity.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/j.1741-3737.2007.00438.x\/pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>White Mothers, Brown Children: Ethnic Identification of Maori-European Children in New Zealand Journal of Marriage and Family Volume 69, Issue 5 (December 2007) pages 1150\u20131161 DOI: 10.1111\/j.1741-3737.2007.00438.x Tahu H.
