“…First, the everyday discrimination scale was designed for African Americans and does not measure several phenomena that may be especially relevant for Asians, such as being a "perpetual foreigner" or stereotyped as passive (Liang et al, 2004;Young & Takeuchi, 1998). Second, potential undesirable consequences of reporting, including invalidation by others, may cause individuals to reappraise a discriminatory incident as non-discriminatory to avoid such challenges (Harrell, 2000;Kuo, 1995). Third, experiences of discrimination may be simply forgotten or unrecognized.…”

“…For example, Kuo (1995) found that individuals born in the United States were more likely to report experiencing discrimination compared to their counterparts who were born outside of the United States. For individuals new to the United States, discrimination has been found to contribute to acculturative stress, which, in turn, has been found to be associated with increased depressive symptoms (Salgado de Snyder, 1987).…”

The association between racial and ethnic discrimination and psychological distress was examined among 2,047 Asians (18 to 75 years of age) in the National Latino and Asian American Study, the first-ever nationally representative study of mental health among Asians living in the United States. Stratifying the sample by age in years (i.e., 18 to 30, 31 to 40, 41 to 50, 51 to 75) and nativity status (i.e., immigrant vs. U.S.-born), ethnic identity was tested as either a protective or exacerbating factor. Analyses showed that ethnic identity buffered the association between discrimination and mental health for U.S.-born individuals 41 to 50 years of age. For U.S.-born individuals 31 to 40 years of age and 51 to 75 years of age, ethnic identity exacerbated the negative effects of discrimination on mental health. The importance of age and immigrant status for the association between ethnic identity, discrimination, and well-being among Asians in the United States is discussed.

“…For many Black, Asian, and Latino immigrants phenotype and skin color in particular are critical factors in shaping their experience in the United States (see Allen, Telles, & Hunter, 2000;Freeman, 1999;Murguia & Forman, 2003;Tuan, 1998). In fact, many of these groups report experiencing discrimination and it has been shown that this has important implications for their well-being (see Amaro, Russo, & Johnson, 1987;Forman, 2003;Forman, Williams, & Jackson, 1997;Kuo, 1995;Noh, Beiser, Kaspar, Hou, & Rummens, 1999;Rumbaut, 1994;Salgado de Snyder, 1987;Tuan, 1998).…”

Over the past four decades, demographic trends have provoked divergent perspectives concerning the future of race and ethnic relations in the United States. Despite the important implications of these differing interpretations of the future, social scientists have given them little empirical scrutiny. In this study, we systematically investigate one of these perspectives-Bonilla-Silva et al. [Research in Political Sociology 23 (2003) 111] Latin Americanization thesis. The Latin Americanization thesis posits that the United States is moving from a two-tier, White/non-White, racial stratification system toward a three-tier one that consists of the following categories: (1) White, (2) honorary White, and (3) collective Black. In this article, we empirically test one aspect of this thesis-the idea that members of the "White," "honorary White" and "collective Black" categories will express social attitudes that reflect their status position in the newly emergent three-tier racial stratification system. We use a large nationally representative sample of non-Hispanic Whites, non-Hispanic Blacks, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans to assess this question. Our results lend qualified support to the Latin Americanization thesis. We conclude by considering the implications of these results for future research on contemporary racial dynamics.
