Nevertheless, parents of multiracial children were asked for the 1990 US Census to report a single race for their offspring. Using confidential 1990 Census micro-data, we investigate the choices parents made for the three most common racially mixed household types (Asian-white, black-white and Latino-white) in twelve large metropolitan areas. We find that context affects the reporting of children&#8217;s racial identity. We examine these effects with models that incorporate three spatial scales: households, neighbourhoods and metropolitan areas. Model estimates reveal that racial claims made by parents of Latino- and Asian-white (but not black-white) children varied significantly across metropolitan area. A neighbourhood&#8217;s proportion white increased the probability that parents reported their children as white, while a neighbourhood&#8217;s racial diversity increased the probability that black-white parents claimed a non-white race (black or &#8216;other&#8217;) for their children.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.informaworld.com\/smpp\/ftinterface~content=a794922850~fulltext=713240930\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Place, scale and the racial claims made for multiracial children in the 1990 US Census Ethnic and Racial Studies Volume 32, Issue 3 (March 2009) pages 522 &#8211; 547 Steven R.
