This article examines variation in the social position of mixed-race populations by exploiting county-level varjation in the degree of occupational differentiation between blacks and mulattoes in the 1880 U.S. census. The role of the mixed-race category as either a "bufferclass" or a status threat depended on the class composition of whites. Black/mulatto occupational differentiation was greatest wherewhites had high occupational prestige and thus little to fear froma mulatto group. Furthermore, differentiation increased the risk of lynching where whites had relatively low status and decreasedthe risk of lynching where whites had relatively high status.
