Which culture/race do you (or your children) identify with, and why?
I have two reasons for asking this question:
1) My research examines ethnic variation in environmental attitudes and behaviors, and right now, we treat interracial respondents as "Other"
2) On a personal note, all of my siblings married inter-racially (Mexican, Dutch/Chinese, Indian), and I don't notice any sort of pattern with my nieces and nephews. My brothers kids identify as Mexican, my sisters kid identify as Guyanese. Nobody on either side is particularly forceful when it comes to cultural identity, so it's not like they are forcing one culture on their kids.
Any insights you could offer would be much appreciated.
