“…With both data sets, non-Hispanic households headed by a married couple of different races and which had natural-born children under age 15 were selected. 8 The 2000 analysis involves children whose parents both list only one race-so-called "first generation" multiracials (Daniel, 1996)-who comprise the great majority of the multiracial population (67% of all multiracial children in the sample, and 80% of children with Black and White heritage). This simplification was necessary to test the hypotheses presented.…”

“…Many in these studies adopt complex identities that traverse racial boundaries (Brown, 2001;Daniel, 1996;Rockquemore and Brunsma, 2002;Williams and Thornton, 1998). Moreover, in the 1990s, a multiracial movement lobbying for the Census to permit individuals to indicate their multiracial identity was led largely by individuals in Black-White intermarriages (Williams, 2006).…”

“…Census data allow us to identify children born in intermarriages between Black and non-Black parents. How these families identify their children's race indicates their own attitudes toward the normative predominance of the one-drop rule, and has a strong influence on their children's eventual self-identification (Brown, 2001;Daniel, 1996;Funderburg, 1994;Rockquemore and Brunsma, 2002;Thornton, 1996;Xie and Goyette, 1997). Parents and close relatives provide the child with their first, and often most influential, understanding of their emerging sense of self (Demo and Hughes, 1990;Jackson et al, 1988;Thornton, 1997).…”

The End of the One-Drop Rule? Labeling of Multiracial Children in Black Intermarriages

The identity choices of multiracial individuals withBlack heritage have traditionally been limited in America by the one-drop rule, which automatically designated them as Black. This paper evaluates the rule's contemporary influence and argues that, with increasing interracial marriage, options in racial identification are now available to this group. Using the 5% 1990 and 2000 Public Use Microdata Samples, I consider how children from Black intermarriages are racially identified by their families and, using 2000 data, evaluate theoretical hypotheses to explain identification processes. The results show that most families with Black intermarriages reject the one-drop rule, but that Black-White families create unique interracial options, the implications of which are considered.
