Throughout the history of the United States, the defined racial categories have changed, demonstrating how race and what are defined as races are social constructs. While the U.S. Census has historically considered "Latino" / "Hispanic" as separate from the defined racial categories, current efforts are aiming to include them as options when individuals are asked to indicate their racial identity. This change is supported by many Latines, who often choose the "other" option when asked about their race in the U.S. Census and in other official forms. To examine how individuals internalize panethnic identities, I interviewed nine research participants who identified as Mexican, Mexican American or Chicane to understand how they articulated their self-perceived racial identity. According to my findings, participants considered Catholicism, the ability to speak and understand Spanish, and gendered expectations to be pertinent to their understanding of Mexican culture and their Mexican identity. This nationalistic identity was critical because for most participants, they utilized their nationality as their self-described racial identity to resolve their confusion when being asked to self-report their race on official forms. However, they also revealed how they experienced racialization, mainly through how their families distinguished different skin complexions. These distinctions were important because it reinforced a colorist hierarchy that privileged lighter skin tones. There was also some evidence that suggests that way in which asserting a panethnic or nationalistic identity was not just a way to create a separate identity from Anglo Whiteness, but to also distance themselves from Black persons and Blackness. Thus, the findings offer insight into how Mexicans and Mexican Americans not only negotiate their racial identity in relation to existing racial categories, but also can potentially influence the racial structure.
