I use Census microdata from 1870 and 1920 and regression analysis to examine colorism before and after the one-drop-rule.

Two hundred parent-child dyads (sons <i>Mage</i> =12.39, <i>SD</i> = 1.22 at baseline; mothers <i>Mage</i> = 42.79, <i>SD</i> = 9.21 at Wave 5) living in under-resourced, urban neighborhoods completed self-report questionnaires about their exposure (i.e., direct or indirect) to violent events in their community within the last year.

Data were collected from 120 Black families in the United States. Children completed the Trier Social Stress Task (TSST-C) and provided 4 saliva samples across 2 days that were assayed for cortisol (C), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and testosterone (T). Mothers reported their experiences of total discrimination and racial discrimination related to skin color/race. Thirty four percent reported experiences of discrimination and on average 46.7% reported experiences of discrimination due to their race or skin tone. Mothers' experiences of racial discrimination were associated with their child's hormonal reactivity to and recovery from the TSST-C. Youth showed stronger positive hormone coupling between C-T if their mother experienced greater discrimination. Mothers' experiences of racial discrimination influenced both C-T coupling and youths' cortisol recovery from the TSST-C. For youths with high testosterone, cortisol recovery was blunted.
