Hi All,
In the past I have always coded so that I have Non-Hispanic Black, Non-Hispanic White, then South Asian, Native American, etc. However, I find more and more people respond as both Hispanic and South Asian, Native American, etc. My dataset is small (n=33) so I wasn't sure if it I should code as 2 or more races or if they should be counted independently as South Asian and Latinx. If you have code in SPSS that you could share that would be also appreciated!

If Pieterse is correct (and I believe that he is) then cultural and ethnic hybridity will increase as immigrants in vast urban centers intermarry.
For example, one of the young men in my study (Gryskiewicz 2020) has an Austrian father and an Ethiopian mother. The young man self identified as Ethiopian American. Another young man has a Nigerian father and Romanian mother. He refused to choose an Ethic racial identity (ERI) because he was discriminated by Europeans and Africans. He would only identify by brith city saying, “I was born in Vienna”.
Moving forward, I wonder if Pieterse’s term Cultural Mélange would work as a classification to indicate people from mixed backgrounds?
