“…This strategy may be problematic, however, because a maximally racially ambiguous face could be perceived as always White by one subset of raters and always Black by another subset, but the data are often collapsed at the target level, which could obscure such a pattern and undermine the goal of selecting faces that are at the cusp of being one race or another. Additionally, defining multiracialism in terms of racial ambiguity is problematic because even racially ambiguous faces are not always perceived as multiracial (Chen & Hamilton, 2012;Chen, Pauker, Gaither, Hamilton, & Sherman, 2018;Ho Kteily, & Chen, 2020). Moreover, just as social perception research demonstrates wide variability among monoracial faces (Ma, Correll, & Wittenbrink, 2015;Strom, Zebrowitz, Zhang, Bronstad, & Lee, 2012), multiracial faces possess significant featural variation that may or may not encompass racial ambiguity (Chen, Norman, & Nam, 2020).…”
