==Different Dimensions, Different Outcomes== Different measures of different dimensions of race influence findings on inequality, although it is not always clear which measures reveal the greatest racial disparities in outcomes. '''Health outcomes:''' There are different outcomes from using observed race vs self-identification. Also, there are limitations for multicultural/multiracial patients who are forced to choose one race. We might expect observed race to more closely mirror experiences of discrimination in service provision. Yet what little evidence exists is mixed (1325). Using observed race instead of the race one classifies themself as can decrease the rates at which health problems are reported for Native Americans because many health providers classify them as white. '''Criminal Justice:''' Outcomes and potential discrimination are skewed towards ''observed race'' as more influential than ''self-classification''. Being observed as Black led to more arrests even if they did not self-identify as Black. '''Socio-economic:''' ''Self-classification'' revealed greater race gaps in family income than ''observed race''. Being seen as White by others was associated with higher family income than self-identifying as White. In Brazil, using observed race, Whites earned 26 per cent more than Browns, but only 17 per cent more than Browns using self-classification (1325). Showing that observed race yielded more inequality.
