The variation in these parental designations of a variety of mixed-race children is described. Parental racial designations in the three most common majority-minority interracial couplings \u2013 White\/Hispanic, Black\/White and Asian\/White \u2013 are predicted using multinomial logistic regression models. The results may indicate a movement by the parents of these multiracial children away from minority status through racial labeling and towards \u201cmultiracial\u201d and \u201cWhite\u201d \u2013 movements that are predicated upon gender, class and context. Critical discussions of the implications of these results as well as directions for future research are offered.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/sf.oxfordjournals.org\/content\/84\/2\/1131.full.pdf+html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interracial Families and the Racial Identification of Mixed-Race Children: Evidence from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study Social Forces Volume 84, Number 2 (December 2005) pages 1131-1157 DOI: 10.1353\/sof.2006.0007 David L.
