Research on multiracial categorization has focused on majority group social perceivers (i.e., White Americans), demonstrating that they (a) typically categorize Black\u2013White multiracials according to a rule of hypodescent<\/a>, associating them more with their lower status parent group than their higher status parent group, and (b) do so at least in part to preserve the hierarchical status quo. The current work examines whether members of an ethnic minority group, Black Americans, also associate Black\u2013White multiracials more with their minority versus majority parent group and if so, why. The first 2 studies (1A and 1B) directly compared Black and White Americans, and found that although both Blacks and Whites categorized Black\u2013White multiracials as more Black than White, Whites\u2019 use of hypodescent was associated with intergroup antiegalitarianism, whereas Blacks\u2019 use of hypodescent was associated with intergroup egalitarianism. Studies 2\u20133 reveal that egalitarian Blacks use hypodescent in part because they perceive that Black\u2013White biracials face discrimination and consequently feel a sense of linked fate with them. This research establishes that the use of hypodescent extends to minority as well as majority perceivers but also shows that the beliefs associated with the use of hypodescent differ as a function of perceiver social status. In doing so, we broaden the social scientific understanding of hypodescent, showing how it can be an inclusionary rather than exclusionary phenomenon.<\/p>\n
