Although many Korean transracial adoptees (KTAs) have White European American (WEA) family members, their racial features place them in the minority group. Thus, they navigate the meanings of race and culture from two reference groups: the majority WEA group and the Korean American group. This study explored the processes through which perceptions of group meanings and sense of belonging and exclusion related to the development of racial and ethnic identities. Fourteen adult KTAs in the Northeast participated in interviews analyzed using grounded theory methodology. Results indicated that KTAs' racial and ethnic identities were coconstructed in relation to experiences of belonging and exclusion with their families and both WEA and Korean American groups.

Questionnaires were administered to 70 black female, 75 black male, 1,457 white female and 1,429 white male university freshmen. In order to test three alternative theories regarding perceptions of discrimination, analyses of variance related sex, race, and SES to total scores of perceived occupational discrimination against blacks (BDST) and against women (WDST) . Blacks perceived significantly more discrimination against black people than did whites: neither sex nor SES differentiated scores on BDST. Black

The results of this study indicate that black Amercans, especially young black males, are suspicious that genocide is the aim of family planning programs controlled by whites. Black women are more positively inclined to family planning. There is altogether an ambivalence created by the fear of genocide and a desire to use family planning methods. This dilemma will remain until the life circumstances of black Amencans improve.

Rainwater's assertion that blacks have low self‐evaluations because they receive more negative evaluations from other blacks than whites receive from other whites is challenged here by reference to Heiss and Owens evidence that negative self evaluation among blacks is limited to work‐related traits. Substantial support was found for our major hypotheses that, compared to whites, (1) blacks would report more negative evaluation of “most men” but not of “most women” (since the provider role is traditionally ascribed primarily to men), and (2) the more negative evaluation of “most men” by blacks would be limited to work‐related traits.

On the basis of a historical survey, newspaper articles, opinions of black people and other data the authors conclude that there is a relationship between fears of genocide and the use of family planning methods. The need to consider this behavior as a symptom of a more profound problem of our society is stressed.
