▪ Priming research, bicultural people are primed with one set of cultural ideas vs
another set of cultural ideas, people in hong kong know a lot about american

▪ One of his students, ran 4 different studies looking at different measures of
eatiit, she foud othig! This does’t epliate the study mentioned in the
tetook. Pat of the pole is that eatiit is a e slippe oept.it’s ot
an easy assess.
o Liig i ultiultual olds: oe of the aeas of eseah he’s ee ioled ith is

differentiate people on the basis of where the ancestors were born geographically but
this is not tied to skin color.
o The concept of race came around in the 19th century, bloomenbock, decided to
organize people into racial groups into 5 categories. He makes a hierarchy of this and
puts caucasians on the top, because at that time it was thought that the origin of
huait ae fo the hite people. That’s h he hates the od auasia!
o Black people in the US are never referred to as being multiracials.
o Reseah i ultiaialit is had to do, eause thee ae a leds ou a hae →
