To better understand the diversity of the multiracial population, compare multiracial data to sin-gle-race data, and evaluate the rigidity of racial boundaries, we must understand the single-race iden-tiWcation choices of multiracial respondents. Many studies assume that this pattern will be straightforward for multiracial respondents who choose a part-black identiWcation, with virtually all choosing a “black” single-race identiWcation. I investigate whether this assumption is justiWed by available survey data. Using the May 1995 Current Population Survey’s Race and Ethnicity Supple-ment, I explore the single-race identiWcations of individuals who have chosen a part-black multiracial


label on a survey. I Wnd that single-race identiWcation choices on forced-choice questions vary consid-erably across family heritage groups, with those who choose a “black-American Indian” identity extremely likely to select a black single-race identity, while other groups like “black-whites” have substantial variation in single-race identiWcations. IdentiWcation patterns vary signiWcantly by age,family context and survey characteristics.
