在美国，在最近两次十年一次的人口普查中，40%的拉美裔人拒绝种族分类，如“白色”或“黑色”，并在种族上将自己归类为“黑人”。学者们认为，问题的形式导致他们这样回答;那些勾选“其他”的西班牙裔是种族中间人，也就是说，黑白混血儿或混血儿;最后，西班牙裔只是误解了这个问题。本文探讨这些解释。1989年的样本包括在纽约市机场随机挑选的240名波多黎各旅客。所用方法为描述性数据分析和多变量logit分析。比较波多黎各种族认同的三个不同方面：（a）种族是如何从外部定义的，即由采访者;（B）它是如何定义的回答者自己在开放式和封闭式的问题格式;（c）如何回答者认为它是由（白色）北美人定义的。种族歧视的决定因素。

The determinants of racial se...
