Abstract: This study analyzes the factors affecting the formation of racial identity, particularly focusing on Black-White Multiracial. By employing 2000 IPUMS dataset, I apply a logit-regression analysis of Black-White Multiracial on the explanatory variables of individual traits and socio-environmental characteristics. Socio-environmental characteristics turn out to be more important on the formation of multiracial identity than individual traits. When they have higher socioeconomic status, are younger and more mobile, live in the community of smaller ratio of Blacks, work in the workplace of smaller ratio of Blacks, and when their spouses are of different race, they are more likely to have the racial identity of Black-White Multiracial. Particularly, educational attainment serves as a very important factor in forming the racial identity of Black-white multiracial. The South displays much larger disparity between Blacks and Black-White Multiracials than do the other regions. Particularly when a Black has a spouse of a different race, the chance of being Black-White Multiracial is much larger in the South than in other regions. Parents have strong influence on the racial identity formation of their children. It is surprising that more than half (62.0%) of the children from the couples of Black and other race have the racial identity of Multiracial. In contrast, Just one in five (20.0%) children from those parents have the singular racial identity of Black. It implies that when the traditional racial order is once broken with respect to the ban of interracial marriage, another part of racial order that defines race by the singular concept of identification is more likely to be broken. Given the fact that inter-racial marriage has been steadily growing, the findings suggest that those having Multiracial identity will increase . . .
