Study of Interracial Children Presents Positive Picture.
Poussaint, Alvin F.
Interracial Books for Children Bulletin, v15 n6 p9-10 1984
Interviews with a group of biracial adults (ages 17-35) suggest advantages in coming from an interracial background. Many subjects reported that dealing with parents from different racial groups made them more tolerant, objective, and nonjudgmental. These findings disprove notions about "mongrelization" and stereotypes about biracial people having enormous identity problems. (KH)
