As the nation has become more diverse, increasing numbers of Americans belong to more than one racial group. In 1970, just one in a hundred babies born was multiracial; these days, the share has climbed<\/a> to one in ten.<\/em><\/p>\n

This makes it critical for organizations\u2014and the researchers who study them\u2014to understand how multiracial individuals perceive themselves in terms of race, as well as how they are perceived by others.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s the experience of being multiracial and feeling like others are categorizing you one way or another?\u201d asks Nour Kteily, an assistant professor of management and organizations at the Kellogg School.<\/p>\n

The stakes are high.<\/p>\n

Being perceived as belonging, or not belonging, to a particular group can affect well-being. An organization might categorize a multiracial person a certain way for diversity quotas, for instance\u2014but if she does not identify with that minority, the categorization may make her feel constrained or stereotyped.<\/p>\n

Previous research in America has focused almost exclusively on how white people regard biracial people and has shown that they tend to categorize those of mixed race as belonging to the racial category of their minority parent. In new research with two colleagues, Kteily wanted to know whether black people tended to do the same thing.<\/p>\n

The research finds that overall, both races view black-white biracial people as slightly \u201cmore black than white,\u201d says Kteily.<\/p>\n

But white and black people appear to differ in why they might classify biracial people this way. Namely, white people who classify biracial people as more black tend to hold more anti-egalitarian views, while black people who classify biracial people as more black show the opposite pattern, tending to be more in favor of equality between groups…<\/p>\n
