Mixed individuals shift identification within a single social domain.

Evidence

We postulate that Mixed individuals’ identity shifts also occur across multiple identities on the same social domain (e.g., from Asian identity to Black identity; see also Shih et al. 2019). — Anna X. Huang, Jacqueline M. Chen, and Juliane Degner, Being One or the Other, Both or Neither, 79
