- A book by Jennifer Lee and Frank Bean, sociology professors, is featured in The New York Times June 10, 2015
From The NYT:
In their book “The Diversity Paradox,” the [UCI] sociologists Jennifer Lee and Frank
D. Bean found that individuals with white-Latino and white-Asian backgrounds did not
feel excluded by race and enjoyed latitude in choosing their own identities. The story
was different for those with one black parent: They experienced racial barriers, showing
that visible African ancestry is still the great exception when it comes to the mainstream.
