◦ most children from historically underrepresented groups show preferences for Euro-American culture.
◦ some but not all children from historically underrepresented groups identify strongly with their cultural groups.
◦ most children from historically underrepresented groups have parents who are committed to imparting cultural pride.
◦ nearly all children from historically underrepresented groups have a clear and positive view of their ethnicity.

Researchers use the term "ethnic socialization messages" to refer to:
◦ negative beliefs and attitudes about certain ethnic groups that are subconsciously acquired by children.
◦ positive cultural beliefs, attitudes, and concepts that are transmitted to children by parents.
◦ messages from the media and school which articulate society preferences from some ethnic groups over others.
◦ statements of expectations for behavior within a particular ethnic group.
