Shared traits falsely conjure an abstract familial connectivity with racial others defined as negation

Evidence

The authors also stress the importance of the types of social interactions between a Mixed individual and mono-racial others and showed that Mixed individuals’ assumptions about how prototypical they were perceived by others, as well as experiencing validation versus invalidation of their identities, were important factors in the development of their self-definition. Specifically, many of their participants reported that their choice of a Mixed identity was invalidated by others. Such experiences are rather common among Mixed individuals (e.g., Albuja et al. 2022; Campion 2019; Franco et al. 2016), which is why we elaborate on these in the next section. — Anna X.
