Full textAbstract:
This thesis studies racial discrimination in the labour market, and contains three sections. The first section is titled, “Racial Discrimination and White First Name Adoption: A Field Experiment in the Australian Labour Market.” The study investigates the effect of using a White first name on the probability of obtaining an interview offer for Chinese job applicants in the Australian labour market. The adoption of White first names by Chinese is a widely observed phenomena in Australia and abroad. Fictitious CVs are sent in response to entry level graduate and administration assistant job advertisements. I include three different name types: White and Chinese names, and a third type referred to as the ‘Adopters’, which explicitly combines a Chinese last name with a White first name. Having a Chinese last name strongly indicates that the Adopters are of Chinese ancestry. I discover that the difference in interview offers between White and Chinese names is approximately 8 percentage points. However, using a White first name dramatically reduces the Chinese-White racial gap: the Adopters are 50 percent more likely to receive an interview offer compared to Chinese names, even though both job applicants have a Chinese last name. Furthermore, I also find that the benefit of a White first name varies according to the skill level of the job. For graduate vacancies, there is no improvement in interview offers for Adopters; both Chinese and Adopter CVs face similar racial gaps compared to White job applicants. However, in administration assistant jobs, the racial gap completely attenuates; Adopters are just as likely as White names to receive an interview offer, while job applicants who retain a Chinese first name continue to receive significantly fewer interview opportunities. A supplementary analysis find that the results are robust to controlling for recruiter attributes. These results indicate that there are substantial returns to first name naturalisation in the Australian labour market. The second section of this thesis is titled, “Employer Learning and Intra-Racial Wage Dynamics.” Whilst substantial research has identified a large and persistent residual wage gap between distinct racial groups in the labour market, there is comparatively little attention on the examination of wage gaps that occur within a racial minority group. Using a longitudinal dataset that contains a rich array of labour market information, the HILDA survey, this study presents evidence on a range of dynamic labour market returns for the Chinese, Southern European, and British and New Zealand minorities in Australia. Building on the well-established literature on wage dynamics and employer learning, the empirical strategy focuses on the evolution of intra-racial wages, and the return to occupational mobility, for young workers who have recently transitioned into the labour market. The main findings of the paper are: 1) Compared to Whites, mainland Chinese and Greeks have large and negative returns to labour market experience, but Hong Kong Chinese and Italian wages remain constant over time, and 2) mainland Chinese accrue positive returns to occupational mobility, but not Hong Kong Chinese. The results presented in this paper indicate that there is significant variation in labour market outcomes that occur within a racial minority, which has thus far been unaccounted in the literature. Finally, the third section is titled, “Interracial Marriage, Patrilineal Surnames, and Racial Discrimination in the Australian Labour Market.” This study investigates the effect of race, as perceived by an Asian sounding surname, on earnings and employment status in the Australian labour market. The ideal empirical strategy separates the impact of race and group differences in skills on wages, which may otherwise lead to biased estimates. Building on Rubinstein and Brenner (2014), this study uses the non-random matching of spouses in the marriage market, in combination with the patrilineal inheritance of surnames, in an attempt to replicate the ceteris paribus conditions required to estimate the impact of perceived race on income and employment status. We compare the children of mixed Asian-White marriages, and find that they are highly comparable across a variety of traits related to human capital. But, importantly, the children of interracial marriages differ in how firm’s perceive their race, as indicated by their father’s surname. The main results demonstrate that, among mixed Asian-White males, an Asian surname is a significant disadvantage in the labour market: the wage gap between mixed Asian-White individuals is 11 percent against those with an Asian father. Supplementary results investigate the tradition of married women to adopt their husband’s surname on female wages. White women married to Asian men earn approximately 10 percent less than Asian women married to White men, despite being raised in a superior home environment, having greater educational attainment, lower fertility rate, and stronger labour force participation. We conclude that firms discriminate against individuals with an Asian sounding surname in the Australian labour market.

Full textAbstract:
This research will investigate the problem of racial harassment and discrimination in the workplace. This problem of racial harassment and discrimination in the workplace is based on section 6 of the Employment Equity Act1 (EEA) which lays the foundation of this research.
In chapter one of this dissertation the background of our constitutional dimension is discussed as it is the cornerstone of our law.2 Chapter one also raises racial harassment and discrimination as a problem in the workplace. Chapter 2 discusses the pre-democratic, the transition to democracy and the post-democratic racial position in the workplace. Chapter 2 enables the reader to have a full understanding of South Africa?s racial history particularly in employment. Chapter 3 analyses how South African courts address the problem of racial harassment and discrimination in the workplace. This analysis is done by way of discussing cases that have dealt with racial harassment. Further issues that are discussed in chapter 3 are whether the sanction of dismissal imposed by courts in racial harassment and discrimination cases are appropriate. How courts address the sensitivity of employees towards racial harassment and discrimination in the workplace and finally the employers duty to protect employees from racial harassment and discrimination. This is done by way of a broader discussion of case law and section 60 of the EEA.
Chapter 4 is the comparative chapter where racial harassment and discrimination from the United States of America (USA) perspective is analysed and compared to South Africa. In this chapter the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is used to discuss the test that USA courts use to establish racial harassment and discrimination in the workplace. The employer?s duty to protect employees from racial harassment is also discussed in chapter 4, as well as the tests used by courts to establish liability on the part of the employer in the USA. Chapter 5 includes recommendations on how courts and employers can ensure that the remedies that they impose on employees who are guilty of racial harassment are effective in the elimination of racial harassment and discrimination in the workplace. This chapter will also contain concluding remarks.Mini Dissertation (LLM)--University of Pretoria, 2016.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aimed to investigate the changing nature, expression and
measurement of contemporary racist attitudes, discriminatory behaviours and racial
stereotypes in an Australian context. The first principal aim of this thesis was to
further establish the psychometric properties of the Symbolic Racism Extended Scale
(Fraser & Islam, 1997b). Study 1 revealed good psychometric properties for the
Symbolic Racism Extended Scale as a measure of symbolic (modern) racist attitudes
in Australian populations. The study also found support for incorporating modern
racism items within a 'social issues' questionnaire format to reduce reactivity
concerns associated with self-report measures.
The second principal aim of this thesis (Studies 2 and 3) was to explore the
nature, prevalence and potential sources of contemporary racist attitudes, and
associated discriminatory behaviours, in an Australian context. Study 2 detected a
sizeable proportion of modern racist attitudes in both the University and ACT
Secondary College student samples. The nature of modern racist attitudes in the
population samples maintained clear consistencies with key tenets of contemporary
theories of racial prejudice. Overall the study provided further empirical evidence of
the nature, tenets and potential socio-demographic sources of modern racist attitudes
in Australian populations.
Study 3 explored modern racists' discriminatory behaviours in conditions of
low racial salience. In an employment-hiring task, high and low prejudiced
participants (university undergraduates) revealed significantly different employment
hiring preferences for an Aboriginal applicant. In providing Australian empirical
evidence of modern racists' discriminatory behaviours, the study also discussed
methodological implications for future Australian research investigating the
discriminatory behaviours of modern racists.
The third principal aim of this thesis was to provide further analysis of the
measurement of contemporary racist attitudes, specifically to examine concerns
pertaining to the measurement of racial attitudes through implicit techniques. Implicit
free-response measurement of Australian racial stereotypes in Study 4 revealed that
high and low prejudiced participants (as measured by the SR-E) were equally
knowledgable of the cultural stereotypes of Aboriginals, Asians and immigrants.
Cultural knowledge of the implicit stereotypes was found to be predominantly
independent of prejudicial beliefs, lending support to concerns (Devine, 1989; Devine
& Elliot, 1995) that implicit measures of racial prejudice may actually be measuring
an individual's cultural knowledge of the primed racial group, rather than his or her
prejudicial beliefs.
The fourth principal aim of this thesis was to investigate the content of
Australian racial stereotypes. Study 4 revealed the implicit content of the cultural
stereotypes of Aborigines, Asians and immigrants to be predominantly negative in
nature. In response to the predominantly negative content of the Aboriginal cultural
stereotype, Study 5 investigated whether the recategorising of ingroup boundaries and
disconfirming information, relating to Aboriginal Australians, observed in the recent
Sydney Olympic Games would result in changes to the content of the cultural
stereotype. The study found significant decreases and increases in the negative and
positive traits respectively reported as being part of the cultural stereotype of
Aborigines, two weeks following the Sydney Olympic Games.
Together, the five studies contributed to empirical research on the changing
nature, expression and measurement of contemporary racist attitudes, discriminatory
behaviours and racial stereotypes in Australian populations. A number of theoretical
and practical implications of the present findings for Australian prejudice research are
addressed and discussed. Furthermore, a number of practical recommendations for
future research are identified to further investigate the modern nature of racist attitudes in Australian populations.

Esta tese é composta por três artigos empíricos sobre discriminação racial no Brasil. O primeiro testa duas implicações do modelo de discriminação por preferência (BECKER, 1957), utilizando dados do Censo 2010 e da pesquisa Ações Discriminatórias no Âmbito Escolar (2008). Analisando o diferencial de salários entre brancos e negros no mercado de trabalho brasileiro, os resultados corroboram as previsões do modelo, indicando que i) o que determina o hiato salarial entre uma maioria e uma minoria não é a discriminação média na população, mas o grau de discriminação do empregador marginal, isto é, o empregador que mais discrimina entre os que contratam indivíduos da minoria; e ii) dada a distribuição das preferências por discriminação, quanto maior a proporção da minoria relativamente à maioria, maior tende a ser o hiato salarial. O segundo artigo utiliza a abertura comercial ocorrida no Brasil no início dos anos 1990 para analisar o efeito de um aumento da concorrência sobre a discriminação. De acordo com Becker (1957), um aumento da concorrência no mercado de produto deve diminuir o hiato salarial entre maioria e minoria no mercado de trabalho porque reduz as oportunidades de obtenção de renda econômica pura por parte dos empregadores. Utilizando os dados dos Censos 1991 e 2000, os resultados indicam que houve maior queda do hiato salarial entre brancos e negros nas microrregiões associadas a maiores reduções nas tarifas de importação, isto é, em mercados onde houve maior aumento da concorrência devido à abertura. Além disso, há evidências de que lugares com maior porcentagem de negros, maior propensão à discriminação e com maior porcentagem de trabalhadores empregados em indústrias concentradas tendem a experimentar maiores reduções no hiato, conforme previsto pela teoria. O terceiro artigo investiga a possibilidade de haver antecipação da discriminação por parte dos negros, em um mecanismo denominado profecia autorrealizável . Dada a crença dos empregadores de que a minoria é menos qualificada em média, o fenômeno ocorre quando indivíduos da minoria decidem investir menos em capital humano ao anteciparem que não terão as mesmas oportunidades e/ou salários que indivíduos da maioria no mercado de trabalho. Se este menor investimento realmente ocorrer, a crença dos empregadores é confirmada. Usando dados do Saeb 2011 e Censo 2010, testa-se a hipótese de que, em lugares com maior diferencial de salários, há menor investimento em educação por parte dos negros relativamente aos brancos. De acordo com os resultados, há poucas evidências deste fenômeno no Brasil.
This dissertation consists of three empirical papers on racial discrimination in Brazil. The first one tests two implications of the employer s discrimination model (Becker, 1957), using 2010 Census data and the Ações Discriminatórias no Âmbito Escolar Survey (2008). Analyzing the wage differential between blacks and whites in the Brazilian labor market, the results support the model predictions, indicating that i) what determines the wage gap between a majority and a minority is not the population average discrimination, but the discrimination of the marginal employer, i.e. the employer who discriminates more among those that hire minority; and ii) given the distribution of preferences for discrimination, the higher the proportion of the minority to the majority, the greater will be the wage gap. The second paper explores trade liberalization occurred in Brazil in early 1990s to analyze the effect of increased competition on discrimination. According to Becker (1957), increased competition in the product market should reduce the wage gap between majority and minority in the labor market because it reduces the chances of obtaining a pure economic rent by employers. Using data from Census 1991 and 2000, the results indicate that there was a greater fall in the wage gap between whites and blacks in the regions associated with greater reductions in import tariffs, i.e. in markets where there was a greater increase in competition due to the trade liberalization. Furthermore, there is evidence that places with higher percentage of blacks, more prone to discrimination, and greater percentage of workers employed in concentrated industries tend to experience greater reductions in the wage gap, as predicted by theory. The third paper investigates the possibility of anticipation of discrimination by blacks, in a mechanism called self-fulfilling prophecy. Given the employers belief that the minority is less qualified on average, the phenomenon occurs when minority individuals decide to invest less in human capital because they anticipate they will not have the same opportunities and/or wages of individuals from a majority group in the labor market. If this lower investment does occur, the belief of employers is confirmed. Using data from the Saeb 2011 and Census 2010, we test the hypothesis that, in places with greater wage differential, there is less investment in education by blacks relative to whites. According to the results, there is little evidence of this phenomenon in Brazil.

In the wake of Barack Obama becoming the first nonwhite President of the United States and the diminishing instances of explicit racism, a number of Americans believe that the United States has surpassed race and therefore racism (Neville et al. 2000; Nayak 2006; Brayboy et al. 2007; Gawronski 2008; Quillian 2008; Wise 2009; Bonilla-Silva 2010; Gusa 2010; Ikuenobe 2010; Moras 2010; Gainous 2012). On the surface, the problem of overt racial discrimination has dramatically declined, yet, there are key studies that argue that new and subtler forms of racism are still prevalent (Feagin 2000; Krysan 2000; Sydell and Nelson 2000; Swim et al. 2003; Leach 2005; Henkel et al. 2006; Williams and Land 2006; Anderson 2007; D’Andrea and Daniels 2007; Sue et al. 2007; Gawronski et al. 2008; Wise 2009; Gainous 2012; Torres-Harding et al. 2012). This thesis will focus on assessing the dimensions of present-day racism and racial prejudice by replicating and updating Forman’s (2004) study of racial apathy. Using data from 2011 Monitoring the Future Survey, I explore the persistence of racial apathy, which proposes that the blatant racial discrimination of the past has manifested into racial indifference and lack of caring for existing racial inequalities (Perry and Shotwell 2009; Forman 2004; Forman and Lewis 2006; Gafford 2010; Maly et al. 2012). Consistent with previous research, this study finds that the expression of racial apathy has continued to increase, but also that political preference, gender, father’s education level and religiosity affect one’s level of racial apathy.

Full textAbstract:
Racial discrimination in capital punishment has been documented from the 1700s to today. Among the 32 states that still have the death penalty, some have implemented measures at a legislative or judicial level to prevent the arbitrary imposition of the death penalty. The goal of this thesis is to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the result of one such effort, the North Carolina Racial Justice Act. Doing so will help determine if this is a model that other states should replicate, and if so, how it should be altered for a successful reimplementation.

The present study related generational status, family dynamics, and perceptions of racial discrimination (PRD) to acute psychiatric outcomes among a nationally representative Asian American sample (N = 2095), using data from the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS). High self-reports of PRD were correlated with endorsement of clinical depression and suicidality as predicted. Regression analyses suggested that high PRD, low family cohesion, and high family conflict served as significant predictors of poor mental health independently, but moderator hypotheses predicting the interaction of these factors were not supported. Clinical and research implications are provided.

Full textAbstract:
Racial discrimination has been a social ill facing the international human rights community since its inception. More recently economic, social and cultural rights such as the right to health have gained greater consideration warranting further attention to the specificities of their understanding including the right to health. This study examines the intersection of these two topics, racial discrimination and the right to health. The study beings with an historical examination of the two concepts under international human rights law. Based upon these examinations the author proposes a novel theoretical model for the interpretation of State obligations under Article 5(e)iv of the International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD). This model, called the Synergistic Approach, makes use of the existing understandings racial discrimination and the right to health from sources of both hard and soft law to provide further insight into these issues when and where they intersect, as in the text of ICERD Article 5(e)iv. The purpose of such an approach is not only to expand comprehension of the intersection of racial discrimination and the right to health under international human rights law, but also that as in any synergy, the whole of the analysis may be greater than the sum of its parts. In order to test the utility of the Synergistic Approach two case studies are undertaken. Next, the methods for the selection of cases and analysis are presented. The Synergistic Approach is then applied in two cases, the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK). Interactions with international human rights mechanisms, national level action and health indicators are examined for both States. Finally, recommendations for action for international bodies, States in general and the specific States examined in the analysis are offered.

Full textAbstract:
The current project used data from the Health & Retirement Study (HRS) 2016 wave and assesses the relationship between everyday racial/ethnic discrimination and risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The role of acculturation and social support on this relationship was also considered. The sample size consisted of 3,994 non-Hispanic White, 1,140 non-Hispanic Black, and 842 Hispanic older adults. The results suggest that non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic individuals endorse higher perceived everyday racial/ethnic discrimination (p < .001) in comparison to non-Hispanic White individuals. Additionally, non-Hispanic Black adults have higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings (p < .001) than non-Hispanic White and Hispanic adults. Support for the direct and moderating role of certain aspects of social support and acculturation on health outcomes/behaviors related to cardiovascular disease risk among non-Hispanic Black (R2 = .07, F(15, 415) = 2.06, p= .011) and Hispanic (R2 = .30, F(5, 34) = 2.97, p = .025) older adults, respectively, were found. The limitations and clinical implications of the study are further discussed.

Full textAbstract:
La percepción racial, definida como la forma en que una persona interpreta a otra de una diferente etnia racial, nos ayuda a entender el aprendizaje sobre las diferentes razas que los niños tienen a corta edad y saber si sobre ésta predominan aspectos positivos o negativos en su expresión. Los participantes (n= 65; 33 mujeres y 32 hombres), de edades entre 6 y 7 años, de primer grado de primaria de dos centros educativos diferentes (estatal y particular), fueron expuestos a la presencia de dos muñecos de diferente etnia racial (raza blanca y raza negra) y a preguntas para poder determinar sus preferencias sobre estos. Resultados obtenidos reflejan que hay una alta preferencia de los participantes hacia el muñeco de raza blanca, además de una alta identificación con su color a pesar de los participantes ser de raza mestiza, además hay tendencia de atribuir al muñeco de raza negra aspectos negativos. La percepción de los participantes hacia el muñeco negro corresponde el ser feo, ser malo, pobre, poco estudioso, mientras que por el blanco corresponde el ser bueno, bonito, millonario, estudioso. Por lo que se puede discutir en los resultados, es que se observa que la percepción racial a esta edad ya es inadecuada debido a la atribución negativa que se hace sobre los muñecos de raza negra, lo que puede condicionar las actitudes que se tengan sobre esta raza. The racial perception, defined as the way a person interprets another of a different racial ethnicity, helps us to understand learning about the different races that children are at a young age and whether this expression are predominantly positive or negative. Participants (n = 65; 33 women and 32 men) aged between 6 and 7 years, from first grade of two different schools (public and private), were exposed to the presence of two dolls of different racial ethnicity (white and black) and questioned to determine their preference over them. Results show that there is a high preference of participants to the white doll, along with a high identification with their color despite the participants being of mixed race; in addition, there is a tendency to attribute negatives concepts to the black doll. The perception of the participants on the black doll corresponds being ugly, bad, poor, little studious, while to the white doll corresponds being good, beautiful, millionaire, studious. As can be discuss in the results, it is shows that the racial perception at this age is already inadequate by negative attribution on the black dolls, which can influence the attitudes on this race.

Full textAbstract:
To determine whether or not systematic desensitization treatment would produce a significant reduction in negative affect evoked by racial discrimination, 60 Mexican-American college students who scored above average on the Terrell Racial Discrimination Index were selected and assigned randomly to one of three treatment conditions: systematic desensitization (DS), therapist contact (TC), and no-treatment control (NTC). Before undergoing treatment, subjects completed the Background Information Questionnaire (BIQ), and three measures of negative affect: the Multiple Affect Adjective Check List (MAACL); the Profile of Mood States (POMS); and the Treatment Rating Scales (TRS). After concluding treatment, subjects completed the three measures of negative affect only.
Results were nonsignificant with respect to two of the affect measures—the POMS and the MAACL. However, significant differentia1 treatment effects were observed for the TRS measure. Relative to the TC and NTC conditions, subjects in the DS condition evidenced significantly less anger, depression, and anxiety. No other group differences attained the level of statistical significance (p < .05).
Several explanations are offered for the negative findings of the MAACL and POMS. These explanations include the possibility that the measures themselves are insensitive to treatment effects. Nevertheless, due to the significant findings of the TRS, it is concluded that systematic desensitization proves effective in alleviating the negative emotional responses of Mexican Americans to racial discrimination. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Racial discrimination in mental health treatment in South Africa was well established by the 1890's. This study shows this discrimination was perpetuated through to the 1930's and 1940's. By means of a thorough review of racial and psychiatric literature pertaining to the period, this dissertation provides a rich context in to which to place the psychiatric practice of Valkenberg Mental Hospital for the period 1933-1943. Archival research was used to investigate official hospital records of, and case records for, Valkenberg for the years 1933; 1936; 1939; 1942 and 1943. Content analysis was used to analyse the case records and identify any discrimination across diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, criminal activity of patients, deaths in patients, and readmittance. Invidual case histories were also analyzed to ascertain psychiatric practice at a more individual level. Results showed that racial discrimination was still prevalent in the psychiatric practice of Valkenberg for the period. In Valkenberg 'non-European' patients received poorer care, were given inferior therapeutic treatment and often denied access to various effective treatments. European patients on the other hand superior care and had access to all the new and effective physical methods of treatment. Non-European patients were also subject to the racist attitudes of doctors and nurses, which in turn affected the level of care they received. The records also reveal the psychiatrists of the period not only purported the racist doctrines, they were involved in theories and studies that helped justify and confirm them.

This paper uses regression analysis on a national data set from the United States from 2001-2016 to analyze racial or ethnic group disparities in home ownership between whites and blacks, Asian and Pacific Islanders, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Mexicans, other Hispanics and American Indians. I employ Integrated Public Use Microdata combined with Bureau of Labor Statistics data and Federal Reserve Economic Data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. Controlling for demographic, educational, income and wealth, employment and housing characteristics, I find no significant differences between whites and Asian and Pacific Islanders, Mexicans and American Indians. However, blacks, Puerto Ricans, Cubans and other Hispanics face racial disadvantages in regard to home ownership. All minority racial or ethnic groups, except American Indians, lost home ownership parity to whites from 2007-2011, the years primarily affected by the economic crisis.

Full textAbstract:
Australian debates about racial vilification legislation have been dominated by mainstream American First Amendment jurisprudence and popular American notions of 'free speech' to the exclusion of alternative Europeans models. This can be seen from notions of Australian racial vilification legislation as inconsistent with 'free speech' rights as well as the influence of some of the basic assumptions of First Amendment jurisprudence on political speech cases in the Australian High Court. Despite the widespread existence of legislation that penalises racial vilification at State and Federal levels, there has been a rise in Australia over the past 10 years of divisive 'race' politics. Against that background, this thesis considers the scope and limits of racial vilification legislation in Australia. It is argued that First Amendment jurisprudence is inadequate in the Australian context, because it is heavily dependent upon economic metaphors, individualistic notions of identity and outdated theories of communication. It assumes that 'free speech' in terms of lack of government intervention is essential to 'democracy'. It ignores the content, context and effect of harmful speech, except in extreme cases, with the result that socially harmful speech is protected in the name of 'free speech'. This has narrowed the parameters within which racial vilification is understood and hindered the development of a broader discourse on the realities of racist harms, and the mechanisms necessary for their redress. The author calls for the development of an Australian jurisprudence of harmful speech. Failing an Australian Bill of Rights, that jurisprudence would be grounded upon the implied constitutional right of free political speech, informed by an awareness that modern structures of public speech favour a very limited range of speech and speakers. The jurisprudence would take advantage of the insights of Critical Race Theory into the connections between racial vilification and racist behaviour, as well as the personal and social harms of racial vilification. Finally, it is argued that the concepts of human dignity and equality, which underpin European discrimination legislation and notions of justice, provide a way forward for Australian jurisprudence in this area.

Full textAbstract:
This study tested the role that dimensions of ethnic- racial identity play on academic achievement, and examined mental health, racial discrimination, and gender as moderators of this association among Black college students. A total of 321 college students who identified as a Black/African American female or male (M age= 18.4; SD = .34) completed measures of ethnic-racial identity, perceived racial discrimination, and mental health. Hypotheses were tested using path analyses to assess the associations between ethnic-racial identity (i.e., affirmation, exploration, and resolution) and GPA, and whether anxiety, depression, and racial discrimination moderated these relations similarly or differently for males and females. Results from this study indicated that ERI exploration was marginally associated with GPA for females, but not for males. Further, ERI exploration was related to GPA among males with high levels of depression, but not among males with low levels of depression. Similarly, ERI resolution was associated with GPA among males with high levels of anxiety, but not males with low levels of anxiety. Findings have implications for intervention by clarifying the nuanced ways that ethnic-racial identity, mental health, and gender impact Black college students’ academic success.

A presente pesquisa trata da relação racial no cotidiano escolar, segundo as percepções de seus atores, professores e alunos, em uma escola pública da cidade de São Carlos. Buscou-se com o estudo compreender questões que envolvem o racismo e a discriminação racial neste espaço de sociabilidade. Para a realização desta pesquisa, de abordagem qualitativa, foram utilizados dois tipos de instrumentos metodológicos: a) entrevista individual com professores e alunos; b) grupo focal, realizado somente com os professores. Os resultados sinalizam para a existência de preconceito e discriminação racial na relação entre os alunos, sendo os alunos negros as principais vítimas. Embora os dados analisados não mostrem o impacto exato da discriminação racial na vida dos alunos negros, permitem compreender como as relações estabelecidas na escola interferem na construção da identidade positiva entre os afrobrasileiros, na medida em que prejudicam sua auto-estima, que é minada diariamente, tanto pelas atitudes de seus pares quanto pela postura silenciosa dos educadores. A partir do diálogo com os professores foi possível evidenciar como ainda são minimizadas questões que envolvem a problemática racial no âmbito escolar, dada a minimização das ofensas de cunho racial entre os alunos e o desconhecimento por parte destes educadores da lei 10.639/03, que tem como intuito a construção e o fortalecimento da identidade afro-brasileira, a partir do reconhecimento do legado da história e cultura Afro-brasileira e Africana
This research deals with the race relations in the daily school life according to the perceptions of his actors, teachers and students in a public school of the city of São Carlos. The objective was understand issues regarding racism and racial discrimination in that area of sociability. For the achievement of the qualitative approach survey were used two types of methodological tools: a) individual interviews with teachers and students; b) focal groups conducted only with teachers. The results indicate the existence of prejudice and racial discrimination in the relationship between students, black students being the main victims. Although the data analyzed do not show the exact impact of racial discrimination in the lives of black students, they clarify how the relations established at the school interfere in the building of positive identity amongst the afro-brazilians insofar as they affect their selfesteem, which is mined daily by the attitudes of peers as well as by the silent posture of the educators. The dialogue with the teachers highlighted how far the racial issues are minimized at schools, given the minimisation of racially motivated offences among students and the educators’ ignorance of the Law 10.639/03, whose aim is the building and strengthening of afro-brazilian identity, by recognizing the legacy of Afro-brazilian and African history and culture

Full textAbstract:
The effects of parent-child relationship quality and racial socialization on reports of racial discrimination to parents are examined in an African American emerging adult population. The effects of parent-child relationship quality and racial socialization on reports of racial discrimination to parents are also considered. The influences of demographic characteristics on reports of racial discrimination are also assessed. The purpose of this study is to examine if there are relationships between cultural origin, gender, socio-economic status and reports of racial discrimination to parents. The study also aims to determine if parent-child relationship quality has an effect on whether or not black youth report experiences of racial discrimination to their parents. The study included 133 emerging adult participants between the ages of 18-25, and 33 didactic pairs of parents and their emerging adult children. Via electronic surveys, young adults answered questions about their relationships with their parents, while the parents answered questions about their racial socialization strategies. The results indicated that cultural origin, gender, and SES did not have a relationship with reports of racial discrimination to parents. However, analyses suggested that having a low or working SES has a relationship with reporting racial discrimination to parents. Findings also showed that racial socialization along with parent-child relationship quality had an effect on reports of discrimination. Implications of these findings and future directions are discussed.

There is a potential increase in stress for White women in interracial relationships with Black men due to perceived racial discrimination that may not have been previously experienced. The purpose of this quantitative study was to measure stress before and after the relationship due to perceived racial discrimination for these women. Guided by the status exchange theory and the stress process model, it was hypothesized that White women in interracial relationships with Black men would not experience stress due to racial discrimination prior to the relationship but would experience stress once in the relationship. Paired-sample t tests were used to measure the statistical significance between the mean scores from the General Ethnic Discrimination Scale (GED, before the relationship) to the corresponding questions on the GED-Revised (after involvement in the relationship) and the level of stress experienced due to perceived racial discrimination among a sample of 39 White women. A standard multiple regression was used to examine whether the perpetrator (family, friends, or strangers) of the perceived discrimination affected the amount of total stress experienced. The results indicate that the participants experienced an increase in perceived racial discrimination after their involvement in an interracial relationship in most areas identified in the study with a significant increase in stress; family was the most stressful. The results of the study could be used by members of interracial relationships and by counselors who work them to facilitate social change by offering more effective coping skills on how perceived racial discrimination affects stress for White women in interracial relationships.

This study explored whether a relationship exists between smoking behaviors and racial discrimination induced anger among Black adolescents. Participants consisted of 134 Black adolescents from 14 to 18 years of age who frequently visited a recreation center in the Northeast. Forty-four participants were males and 90 were females. All participants were administered a modified version of the CAGE questionnaire, a background information questionnaire, and a measure designed to assess the extent to which they feel angry because they had been discriminated against. Only age was found to be predictive of scores on the CAGE. Only gender was found to be predictive of smoking frequency. The Black Anger Measure (BAM) was significantly correlated with smoking behaviors. Some implications for theory, research and practice are suggested.

Esta dissertação de mestrado é vinculada à linha de pesquisa “Processos Formativos, Diferença e Valores”, do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da FCT – UNESP, em Presidente Prudente. A pesquisa faz parte do projeto coordenado pela orientadora, o qual é centrado nos estudos sobre o currículo e as formas de organização escolar, destacando-se os modos como se encontram relacionados à construção das identidades e diferenças de gênero, sexualidade, classe, raça e geração de seus agentes. Entende-se que esses diversos aspectos da vida humana são produto e produtores da dinâmica sociocultural que estrutura as relações escolares. Particularmente, a pesquisa teve por objeto analisar o que falavam garotos e garotas pobres e/ou negro(a)s acerca da discriminação, do tratamento desigual e das práticas de exclusão vivenciadas na escola. O estudo foi realizado em uma escola pública do município de Presidente Prudente (SP), com aluno(a)s de uma quarta série do Ciclo I do Ensino Fundamental, problematizando-se as relações sociais que ocorrem no ambiente escolar, conforme distinguidas pelo olhar das crianças. Na escolha das crianças para compor o grupo de entrevistadas, incluí principalmente aquelas que eram marginalizadas e discriminadas. Trata-se de investigar e interpretar como as crianças percebem as práticas de diferenciação e de discriminação de classe e raciais vivenciadas na escola. Que tipo de acomodações e/ou reações são observadas, em suas práticas? Que associações elas fazem entre desempenho escolar, sexo, raça e pobreza? Utilizando como referências conceituais e metodológicas as abordagens culturais e sociológicas e a pesquisa qualitativa de cunho etnográfico, lançou-se mão de relatos, questionários, observações e entrevistas.

This study is part of the research “Educational Processes, Difference and Values” from the Post Graduation in Education Program from the FCT – UNESP, Presidente Prudente/SP – Brazil. The research is part of the project coordinated by the advisor and it is focused in the studies about curriculum and paths of school organization, considering the way different factors interact such as identity construction, gender, sexuality, race and social class. It is also considered the many different aspects of human life as result and agents of the social and cultural dynamics that are the structure of school relations. As a main goal it was analyzed the opinion of boys and girls that were African descendents or came from lower social levels about race discrimination, unfair treatment and excluding practices that are constantly experienced in the school environment. The study took place in a public school in the city of Presidente Prudente (SP), involving students from the fourth grade of the elementary school cycle, focusing on the problems found in that environment through the children’s eyes - investigating and interpreting how they perceive the differentiation and discrimination they are constantly target of. To make the selection on the children interviewed were considered the ones that were discriminated somehow and were at the margin of the society. The study raises questions on what kind of behavior they have facing the differentiation and discrimination and what associations are made between school achievement, sex, race and poverty? It takes as reference the conceptual and methodological approaches to the social and cultural, a qualitative ethnical research, interviews, questionnaires and observation.

Full textAbstract:
Racial, ethnic, and linguistic minority workers suffer higher rates of work-related injuries and illnesses in the United States compared to their White counterparts. Explanations for these higher rates include potential socioeconomic causes (education, income, and wealth) and occupational segregation into more dangerous occupations. What is less studied are the post-injury sequelae for minority workers, which is their experiences in the workers' compensation system, as well as their health and return to paid employment. What is known comes primarily from qualitative literature, which includes themes of racial discrimination (from employers, health care providers, and workers' compensation employees), a lack of information on how to navigate the workers' compensation system, and linguistically inappropriate communication with those whose first language is not the majority language. In addition, qualitative studies have found differences in the treatment of minority workers, delays in receiving partial wage payments, and worse health outcomes. Most studies examining minority workers in the workers' compensation system have not provided a theoretical framework from which to test hypotheses as to why differences exist in a social insurance system based on race, ethnicity, and language.
The purpose of this dissertation was to test the role of racial discrimination in creating worse post-injury workers' compensation outcomes for minorities, compared to English speaking Whites. This dissertation utilized fundamental cause theory to frame the hypotheses and analyses in a cross-sectional investigation of differences in workers' compensation system outcomes, using both administrative data from the workers' compensation agency, as well as survey responses from a sample of 488 injured workers in Washington State.
The survey, conducted by Washington State University Social and Economic Science Research Center (SESRC), provided many variables not available in the WC administrative data including measures of perceived racial discrimination to test the hypotheses that racial discrimination is a fundamental cause of worse workers' compensation outcomes for minorities. Fundamental cause theory suggests that there are basic or fundamental reasons for health disparities that are not caused by mechanisms linking the fundamental cause with a health outcome; in fact, these mechanisms can and do change, but the relationship between the primary cause and the health disparity outcome will remain. In addition, a fundamental cause affects multiple outcomes via multiple mechanisms. Access to resources such as income, wealth, prestige, knowledge, and beneficial social connections can reduce the impact of a disease once it occurs.
The analytic chapters in this dissertation are organized first, to address racial discrimination in health care provider outcomes; second, to address racial discrimination in workers' compensation agency outcomes; and third, to address the role of pre-injury racial discrimination in post-injury return to work outcomes. Racial discrimination was tested in this dissertation as the fundamental cause of health-care provider disparities in timeliness of follow-up care, adequacy of care, and patient satisfaction. Racial discrimination was tested in the workers' compensation agency as the fundamental cause of administrative delays and difficulties: delays in diagnostic approval and wage replacement payments, as well as language appropriate communication, and higher counts of independent medical exams.
Racial discrimination was also tested as the fundamental cause of poor return-to-work outcomes (feeling a worker returned to work too early and overall general health). Workplace support, as a possible resource (social connection), was tested as a mediator in the relationship between racial discrimination and workplace outcomes.
Due to the survey nature of the study design, replicate weights were calculated based upon information available in both the surveyed and not-surveyed population to account for non-response bias, and all analyses were bootstrapped using Stata survey software. The results support the role of racial discrimination as a fundamental cause of outcomes for hypotheses in the workers' compensation agency with clear differences in delays for diagnostic services, a higher number of independent medical exams, as well as linguistically inappropriate communication for language minorities. Racial discrimination (prior to injury) was found to be significant in overall general health for minority workers, and for feeling they had returned to work too early. Workplace support (a potential social resource), was found to mitigate the role of racial discrimination in the workplace return-to-work outcomes. This study is an initial effort to examine racial discrimination as a fundamental cause of disparities in occupational health after an injury. As the majority of adults will spend one-fifth to one-third of their lives in paid employment, the ability to heal and return to full and active employment after a work-related injury is critical to ones' self-worth, as well as to the economic stability of individuals, families, and societies. If racial, ethnic, and language minorities suffer worse outcomes in their post-injury sequelae, these results will have long-lasting implications in any quest for a more equitable society.

This paper examines whether racial salary discrimination exists in the National Hockey League (NHL). I examine data from Hockey Reference and CapFriendly and find some evidence of racial salary discrimination, controlling for a rich set of demographic and performance characteristics. Specifically, when I solely control for race, I do not find any racial wage gap. This gap exists when I control for race and limited place of birth groups, however, the effect is wiped out by performance controls. When controlling for race and detailed place of birth groups, I find some evidence of a race gap even when controls for performance are included. Lastly, I discover that whites from all countries excluding the USA earn more than whites from the USA.

Resumo: Este trabalho tem como objetivo, por meio da análise da repercussão da Lei Afonso Arinos em jornais brasileiros entre os anos de 1950 a 1952, pensar sobre aspectos de natureza política e ideológica presentes nas representações dominantes da sociedade brasileira naquele momento histórico em relação à temática racial, os quais podem ter influído na formulação da referida lei e na sua recepção por diversos segmentos sociais. A análise parte do pressuposto de que as relações raciais no Brasil eram então marcadas simultaneamente por uma visão influenciada pelo mito da democracia racial brasileira e pela prática insidiosa de manifestações discriminatórias. Após o delineamento do quadro histórico e teórico necessário à compreensão da Lei Afonso Arinos em suas dimensões histórica, jurídica, política e ideológica, o trabalho se concentrará na abordagem da temática racial brasileira e da Lei Afonso Arinos em particular a partir da análise de matérias jornalísticas sobre tais assuntos, estabelecendo uma conexão entre as representações veiculadas pela imprensa brasileira naquele período e as determinações de ordem histórica e ideológica. A síntese conclusiva procurará relacionar tais representações e determinações com o perfil da Lei Afonso Arinos enquanto um diploma legal caracterizado pela preponderância de sua função simbólica sobre sua eficácia social.
Abstract: By means of the analysis of the repercussion, in Brazilian newspapers between 1950 and 1952, of Law 1390/51, known as Afonso Arinos Law, the first Brazilian anti-discrimination law, this work aims to reflect on the political and ideological aspects, present in the predominant representations concerning racial thematic in Brazilian society at that historical moment, that may have influenced the formulation of the aforesaid law and its reception by different social segments. The analysis assumes that racial relations in Brazil were then marked by a view influenced both by the myth of racial democracy and the insidious practice of discriminatory manifestations. After outlining the historical and theoretical picture necessary for the understanding of the Afonso Arinos Law in its historical, juridical, political and ideological dimensions, this work concentrates on the approach of the Brazilian racial thematic and the Afonso Arinos Law in special from the analysis of the journalistic coverage of those subjects, establishing a link between the representations conveyed by the Brazilian press at that time and the historical and ideological determinations. It concludes with a synthesis that tries to relate such representations and determinations with the profile of the Afonso Arinos Law as an act characterized by the preponderance of its symbolic functions over its social effectiveness.

"Racial Discrimination, Psychache, and Perceived Vitality in Diverse College Students: Is Mindfulness Protective?" Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2021. https://dc.etsu.edu/asrf/2021/presentations/23.
Full textAbstract:
According to the Minority Stress Model, racist or discriminatory experiences can have negative downstream effects on mental and physical health. For example, perceived ethnic discrimination is associated with increased negative emotion and distress, including feelings of guilt and shame; such characteristics may contribute to the development of psychache, or unbearable psychological pain. In turn, subjective vitality, which is considered a dynamic indicator of physical (e.g., feeling energetic, alert) and psychological (e.g., thriving, purposefulness) well-being, may be eroded. Yet, adaptive individual-level cognitive-emotional mechanisms may buffer the negative effects of discrimination on well-being. One such protective factor is mindfulness, or the nonjudgmental awareness of moment-to-moment experience, which can ameliorate stressful reactions to challenging situations and emotional pain.
At the bivariate level, we hypothesized that discrimination and psychache would be positively related, and that both variables would be negatively related to mindfulness and vitality. At the multivariate level, we predicted that psychache would mediate the relation between discrimination and vitality, such that experienced discrimination would be associated with greater psychache and, in turn, to less vitality. We also hypothesized that mindfulness would moderate all linkages, reducing risk.
Our sample of U.S. college students (n=2,106) was collected from a Northeastern urban university and was primarily female (n=1,571, 74.7%) and Hispanic (n=1,289, 61.2%; Black: n=454, 21.6%; Asian: n=363, 17.2%). Participants completed self-report measures, including the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, Subjective Vitality Scale, Psychache Scale, and General Ethnic Discrimination Scale. Bivariate correlations and moderated-mediation analyses were conducted, in each ethnic/racial group, covarying age and sex.
In bivariate analyses, all variables were significantly related in hypothesized directions (p<.05). ANOVAs revealed that ethnic groups varied significantly on discrimination (F(2, 1772=8.35, p<.001), vitality (F(2, 1806)=5.28, p<.01), and mindfulness (F(2, 1779)=9.70, p<.001). Blacks (M=35.95) and Asians (M=36.10) reported greater discrimination than Hispanics (M=32.29), t(1775)=3.66, p<.05; t(1775)=3.81, p<.05. Hispanics (M=4.81) reported higher vitality than Asians (M=4.55), t(1809)=.26, p<.05. Blacks (M=125.79) reported greater mindfulness than both Hispanics (M=122.95) and Asians (M=120.19) (t(1782)=2.83, p<.05; t(1782)=5.60, p<.05). In mediation analyses, the total effect of discrimination on vitality was significant (Asian: t=-2.36, p<.05; Black: t=-2.87, p<.01; Hispanic: t=-5.14, p<.001), and the direct effect was nonsignificant when psychache was added (Asian: t=.42, p=.68; Black: t=-.23, p=.82; Hispanic: t=-.02, p=.98), indicating mediation. In moderated-mediation analyses, the linkage between discrimination and psychache was weakened by mindfulness (Black: a2=-.005[-.009, -.002], t=-2.77, p<.01; Hispanic: a2=-.003[-.005, -.001], t=-2.38, p=<.01; Asian: a2=-.008[-.012, -.003], t=-3.48, p<.001). Among Asians, mindfulness also buffered the association between psychache and vitality (b2=-.001[-.002, -.001], t=-3.60, p<.001).
Across racial/ethnic groups, we found that, for college students who experienced discrimination, psychological pain may be exacerbated, with consequent deleterious impact on vitality. Yet, for all groups, mindfulness weakened the discrimination-psychache linkage and, for Asians, who reported the lowest mindfulness levels, weakened the psychache-vitality linkage. Our findings suggest the benefits of mindfulness for psychosocial functioning in the context of ethnic/racial discrimination. Interventions to reduce psychache (e.g., cognitive restructuring) and enhance mindful awareness (e.g., meditation, acceptance and commitment therapy) may promote physical and mental vitality indicating wellbeing, in college students experiencing discrimination.

Any attempt to tell the story of federal involvement in the dismantling of America's formalized systems of racial discrimination that positions the judiciary as the first branch of government to engage in this effort, identifies the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision as the beginning of the civil rights movement, or fails to recognize the centrality of President Harry S. Truman in the narrative of racial equality is in error.
Driven by an ever-increasing recognition of the injustices of racial discrimination, Truman offered a comprehensive civil rights program to Congress on 2 February 1948. When his legislative proposals were rejected, he employed a unilateral policy of action despite grave political risk, and freed subsequent presidential nominees of the Democratic party from its southern segregationist bloc by winning re-election despite the States' Rights challenge of Strom Thurmond. The remainder of his administration witnessed a multi-faceted attack on prejudice involving vetoes, executive orders, public pronouncements, changes in enforcement policies, and amicus briefs submitted by his Department of Justice.
The southern Democrat responsible for actualizing the promises of America's ideals of freedom for its black citizens is Harry Truman, not Lyndon Johnson. The shift in white American opinion necessary for the passage of the civil rights acts of the 1960s was generated by the cumulative effects of actions taken between 1945 and 1953.Master of Arts

Apartheid in South Africa was formally discarded by the first free election in 1994. Prior to 1994 discrimination in the labour market was embodied in a number of policies (pass laws, occupational colour barring etc.). While such polices may be eliminated by the ANC government, it is apparent that the elimination of racial wage discrimination altogether will be a lengthy process. In the present paper, racial wage discrimination is treated via a multilateral wage decomposition technique. Each observed wage differential is broken down into a productivity component and a discrimination component so that the extent of racial wage discrimination can be estimated.
