Published multiracial research skews Latinx and views ancestry as a categorical aid.
Evidence
The 18 articles that met the criteria for inclusion in this review varied by ethnic-racial background, methodology, and developmental perspectives. Most articles (n = 8) focused on Multiracial Latinx populations, with 6 of these specifically focusing on AfroLatinx participants.
