Starting from colonial times, Brazil has a long history of racial miscegenation<\/a>. How do families structure themselves with respect to a concept of racial hierarchy? Several censuses and survey from the Brazilian Central Statistical Office (IBGE) incorporates some ethnic enumeration with information on race\/skin color of the respondent, though mostly self-reported. Alternatives are: \u201cWhite\u201d, \u201cBlack\u201d, \u201cAsian\u201d, \u201cMixed race\u201d and \u201cNative Brazilian\u201d. Though it is possible that some subjectivity is inherent to the process, temporal consistency is observable, within a 5% error margin. Analyzing census data, one can perceive a time trend towards \u201cwhitening\u201d of the population until 1991, with a slight reversal in 2000, resuming the \u201cwhitening\u201d trend up to 2010 (the latest census). But how do offspring of interracial marriages self-report themselves? Among possible alternatives, is the race\/skin color of the father or the mother the determinant factor? Is this choice affected by geographical region or social status? Is there a noticeable time trend in choices made?\u00a0 The study analysis data from five Brazilian censuses, between 1960 and 2010, in order to identify patterns and trends among offspring of interracial marriages.<\/p>\n

Among exogamic<\/a> couples where one of the partners is \u201cWhite\u201d, this is the dominant race\/skin color alternative for the offspring. When the mother is \u201cWhite\u201d the difference with respect to other alternatives is even wider, less so, when the father is \u201cAsian\u201d. The reported proportion of \u201cWhite\u201d children increases with socio-economic status. Among \u201cBlack\u201d\/\u201dMixed-race\u201d couples, the preference is for reporting \u201cMixed-race\u201d offspring, with a higher proportion of \u201cBlack\u201d if the father is also \u201cBlack\u201d.<\/p>\n
