A comparison of racial/ethnic preferences among Anglo, black and Latino children.

This study uses a photo-choice method to compare racial/ethnic group preferences of black, Anglo, and Latino children, with a focus on the latter--relatively little-studied--group. While both black and Anglo children choose ingroup photos, Latinos preferred pictures of Anglo children. Explanations of this outcome are explored, and a comparison between the situation of today's Latino child and the black child of ten years ago is suggested.
