A Black exceptionalism hypothesis suggests that Black heritage will be more restrictive of biracials&#8217; social and political assimilation prospects than Asian or Latino heritage. Black exceptionalism better explains biracials&#8217; sorting into the racial hierarchy than does classic assimilation theory or a people-of-color hypothesis. In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/programs-surveys\/acs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American Community Survey<\/a>, Black heritage dominates subjective racial self-identification among biracial adults and identity assignments to children of interracial marriages. In the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixedracestudies.org\/?p=41356\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2015 Pew Survey of Multiracials<\/a>, Black-White biracials&#8217; social identity, social networks, perceptions and experiences of discrimination, and political attitudes relevant to race resemble those of monoracial Blacks, whereas Latino-Whites and Asian-Whites are more similar to monoracial Whites than to their minority-group counterparts. Results suggest that even in a more racially mixed future, Black Americans will continue to be uniquely situated behind a most impermeable color line.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/pops.12806\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Results suggest that even in a more racially mixed future, Black Americans will continue to be uniquely situated behind a most impermeable color line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,33,125,8,26,20],"tags":[18945,7273,33228,6986],"class_list":["post-63385","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","category-census","category-identitydevelopment","category-media-archive","category-politics","category-usa","tag-american-community-survey","tag-david-o-sears","tag-gregory-john-leslie","tag-political-psychology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=63385"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63385\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":63386,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63385\/revisions\/63386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=63385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=63385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=63385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
