The mixed-race population has long been the subject of myriad academic theories and folk wisdoms, none of which are based on analyses of nationally-representative samples. Instead, beliefs about this population have persisted with little more to support them than anecdotes and conclusions drawn from biased samples. In this paper we embark on a research project designed to address this oversight by assessing mental health, educational, substance abuse, delinquency, and social network outcomes for nationally-representative samples of mixed-race adolescents. However, before assessing outcomes for the mixed-race population we must first address a simple question--Who is mixed race? As this paper shows, identifying the mixed-race population is not straightforward. We show that there is not a single mixed-race population. Instead, there are overlapping mixed-race populations whose membership depends on how and where identity is measured. Moreover, we argue that there is no a priori reason for privileging one definition of mixed race over all others. |
