Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: People of mixed heritage�those with ancestors of different �race� groups�can acknowledge this mixed heritage or they can chose not to. For decades, many people have indicated mixed heritage on the U.S. Census by reporting an �ancestry or ethnic origin� that differs from their reported race(s). This ancestry question was included in the long-form version of the census questionnaire in 1980, 1990, and 2000. In this paper, I take a long-term view of mixed-heritage reports to provide context and background information about the newly enumerated but longstanding mixed race population in America. I focus on the following research questions. 1) What social and demographic characteristics predict whether a person of mixed racial heritage will report mixed heritage by reporting an ancestry different from their reported race? 2) Over the past three censuses, has there been a shift in which characteristics best predict an ancestry report that is different from the reported single race? Is this change primarily evident between 1990 and 2000 and thus probably due to the change in the race question? 3) How do characteristics that predict mismatched race/ancestry reports compare with those predictive of multiple-race reports?
