This article examines the relationship between family ethnic homogeneity or heterogeneity and children's ethnic identity. The basic premise was that children from endogamous marriages should have stronger ethnic identities than those from exogamous marriages. Students from four ethnic groups completed a questionnaire to determine their parents' ethnic identities and their own identities, among other items. Results showed only a weak relationship between children's ethnic identity and parents' marriage, however quite a strong relationship was found between ethnic identity and desire to marry within their own ethnic group. This suggests another more important process occurring with little impact from the family ethnic mix
