Ho will examine how the growth of the multiracial population over the last two decades has shaped the racial hierarchy in the U.S. He will investigate how social attitudes, such as (anti-)egalitarianism and racial prejudice, influence how different racial groups perceive multiracial individuals of white-black and white-Asian descent. He will also investigate why monoracial people are more likely to apply the “one drop rule” to multiracial people in certain circumstances.
