Those proposing the former base their argument on the right to self-classify according to one\u2019s own sense of identity. Proponents of the <em>negro<\/em> category contend that it would be most efficient for redressing racial discrimination. We examine the meaning and saliency of these categories and explore the possible consequences of their adoption. Using national survey data, we demonstrate how education, age, color, sex and local racial composition structure the choices of <em>moreno<\/em> and <em>negro<\/em> over official census terms. Findings include a negative correlation between education and the choice of <em>moreno<\/em>, while the opposite is true for <em>negro<\/em>. In addition, an age effect on both categories suggests a popular shift in racial labeling away from official census terms. We note that similar issues structure current census debates in the USA.<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire article <a href=\"https:\/\/webfiles.uci.edu\/bailey\/Publications\/2006%20Bailey%20and%20Telles%20ETH.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multiracial versus Collective Black Categories: Examining Census Classification Debates in Brazil Ethnicities Volume 6, Number 1 (2006) pages 74-101 DOI: 10.1177\/1468796806061080 Stanley R.
