Drawing on in-depth interview data from the nationally representative Faith at Work: An Empirical Study, this article contributes to understanding the role of religion in shaping interpretations of and responses to racial discrimination in the workplace. Specifically, it shows how Christians of different racial groups understand the relevance of their faith in coping with perceived racial discrimination in the workplace, and it illuminates the religious frames that respondents employ to “make sense” of perceived racial discrimination at work. We find that Christians of color and White Christians primarily draw on religious frames such as forgiveness and divine sovereignty in response to perceived discrimination but that these frames serve different functions. Some Christians of color also link their faith to a moral conviction to stand up for themselves and others in the workplace. While most studies on the connection between religion and racial discrimination focus on faith as an individual-level coping mechanism and buffering effect, this article also analyzes the implications of religion on racial hierarchies and racial equity efforts in the workplace—including a focus on how religion serves to produce epistemologies of ignorance and support feelings of White victimhood. Our study contributes to the scholarship on racial discrimination and religion by offering new insights into how Christians of different racial groups use faith to cope with perceived racial discrimination at work.
本文利用具有全国代表性的 "工作中的信仰"(Faith at Work:实证研究》(Faith at Work: An Empirical Study)的深度访谈数据,本文有助于理解宗教在影响对工作场所种族歧视的解释和应对方面所起的作用。具体而言,文章展示了不同种族群体的基督徒如何理解他们的信仰与应对工作场所种族歧视的相关性,并阐明了受访者为 "理解 "工作场所种族歧视所采用的宗教框架。我们发现,有色人种基督徒和白人基督徒主要利用宽恕和神圣主权等宗教框架来应对感知到的歧视,但这些框架的作用各不相同。一些有色人种基督徒还将他们的信仰与在工作场所为自己和他人挺身而出的道德信念联系起来。虽然大多数关于宗教与种族歧视之间联系的研究都侧重于将信仰作为一种个人层面的应对机制和缓冲效应,但本文也分析了宗教对工作场所种族等级制度和种族公平努力的影响--包括重点关注宗教如何产生无知的认识论和支持白人受害者的感觉。我们的研究为不同种族群体的基督徒如何利用信仰应对工作中的种族歧视提供了新的视角,从而为种族歧视与宗教的学术研究做出了贡献。

Black and Hispanic neighborhoods have suffered the most severe consequences of the “war on drugs.” As the war on drugs waned, cannabis legalization/decriminalization efforts increased across America. A prime example of decriminalization occurred in August of 2012 as the City of Chicago introduced a new law providing officers with option to ticket, rather than arrest, individuals caught in possession of 15 grams of cannabis or less. As cannabis policy continues evolving, it remains to be seen whether or not the trend toward decriminalization will produce equitable changes in drug arrest outcomes across racial/ethnic groups. We employ data tracking cannabis arrests over time by neighborhood to assess the impact of cannabis decriminalization in Chicago and estimate racial disparities in the likelihood of arrest (v. ticket) using two sets of models: within-neighborhood models and hierarchical logistic regressions with random effects. We find that Blacks and non-White Hispanics are more likely to be arrested than ticketed for minor cannabis possession in Chicago following the introduction of the Alternative Cannabis Enforcement (ACE) program, regardless of the neighborhood where the arrest took place. In addition, Black neighborhoods did not experience the same reduction in arrests after the law changed in comparison with racially mixed, White, or predominantly Hispanic neighborhoods. Our findings draw attention to the differential deployment of discretionary policing strategies across neighborhoods of different racial/ethnic composition. Although Chicago’s ACE program has lowered the overall rate of cannabis arrests, major racial/ethnic disparities in those arrests remain and become exacerbated when examining macro neighborhood-level trends.

We study the association between skin tone and socioeconomic outcomes in Mexico. Previous studies have relied on subjective measures of skin tone, but these may suffer from measurement error and bias from “money lightening” effects, and they do not include other physical attributes, which could lead to overestimation. We use a new data source in Mexico specifically designed to address these challenges, including an objective measurement of skin tone based on optical colorimeters. We find that the estimates of the association between skin tone and socioeconomic outcomes are consistent across data collection techniques (interviewer-rated, self-rated, machine-rated) and surveys. Around half of the association is explained by differences in socioeconomic background, a finding that emphasizes the importance of considering both historically accumulated disadvantages and current mechanisms of generating inequality. We also find that phenotypical characteristics other than skin tone (eye and hair color) are significant predictors of socioeconomic outcomes. These findings suggest that more than a strict pigmentocracy, where light skin is the only element or the definitive one, ethnoracial stratification in Mexico may be better characterized in a broader sense: as one where people with a set of racialized physical features linked to European origins have greater accumulated privilege and social advantages than those with features linked to Indigenous or Black ancestry.

The increasing visibility of multiracial college students has catalyzed debate about the need for organizations to better address the racialized experiences of these students. These debates are fueled by scholarship highlighting multiracial students’ feelings of exclusion and alienation from race-oriented student organizations. Yet, much of this research is predicated on the aggregated experiences of all multiracial students with minimal, or no specific attention to those who both have Black ancestry and indicate involvement in Black student organizations (BSOs). To fill this gap, I draw on interviews with 21 Black multiracial college students involved in BSOs to examine how they interpret the impacts of their involvement. In doing so, I elucidate how BSOs operate as critical activation sites for (multi)racial awakenings, through which students develop deeper understandings of and attachments to Blackness as well as demonstrate strengthened commitments to antiracism. I then introduce reflective resistance to account for the ways that these (multi)racial awakenings informed shifts in students’ navigation of intrafamilial relationships, leading many to adopt strategies meant to dismantle, confront, and even resist the racist logics perpetuated by loved ones. Black multiracial students’ engagement in reflective resistance illustrates how BSO involvement not only impacts understandings of race and racism but also provides the tools necessary to critically reflect and resist anti-Blackness in students’ social, political, and intimate lives.
