“…Recent work on some of the fraught issues that Romani communities face around the census offers valuable insight into questions of visibility and inclusion in the context of institutions. Csata et al (2020) use the case of Roma in Romania to show that municipal expert assessments are a sound validation strategy for censuses that rely on self-identification. Hay et al (2020) detail the consequences of omitting Roma as an ethnic category from past census data collection in Scotland.…”

Social exclusion is complex, intractable, and devastating. It occurs where individuals or groups cannot fully participate in the typical activities of the societies in which they live, whether they are excluded economically, politically, or live in segregation. In this review, I highlight recent work in the area of social exclusion and ethnicity, focusing on Europe and Eurasia. Scholarship reveals ethnic hierarchies of exclusion in hiring and housing markets, educational approaches that cloak assimilationist practice in the language of inclusion, a plethora of strategies that minorities use to navigate exclusion, and more. While new research brings innovation and insight, it nevertheless remains fragmented along several dimensions. As scholars work to move the field forward, bridging substantive areas of exclusion, studying the complex dynamic of interactions between majorities and minorities, and collaborating across methodological divides would be particularly valuable.

“…And again, this is not specific to Asia. In Europe, Romas—despite being the largest minority population—have struggled against some of the worst discrimination in part because they are geographically dispersed (Bracic, 2020; Csata et al, 2021).…”

Taiwanese identity is distinct from and juxtaposed against the Chinese identity. What explains the emergence of a Taiwanese identity – specifically in the south? This identity formation is surprising considering the multiple decades of authoritarian rule where the government championed a Chinese identity. In this article, weargue that the Taiwanese identity manifested from a linguistic tension betweenHokloand Mandarinspeakers.And while the Kuomintang adopted a strict Mandarin monolingual policy, thehomogeneity of theHoklo speakers in the south – i.e., they constituted a minimal winningsizeand they were regionally concentrated –ensured the survival of theHoklovernacular. This vernacular would become the instrument for the formation of a Taiwanese identity. In contrast,we see initial push back from the Hakka speakers who were excluded from the narrative of Taiwanese identity. Likewise,in the north where there weregreater linguistic heterogeneity and increasing interethnic marriages, Taiwanese identity was not as coherent.

“…For example, besides being split into two different Romanilanguage dialects, a substantial amount of the Roma residing in Slovakia also speak, and ethnically identify as Slovak or Hungarian. In fact, the reluctance of Roma to self-identify as such is seen as a major barrier to both inclusion programs and mobilization efforts (Csata, Hlatky, and Liu 2021;Vermeersch 2003, 884). Moreover, the Roma community in Slovakia is unique in that two-thirds of the population resides in rural, segregated settlements on the outskirts of towns and villages.…”

The literature on welfare chauvinism shows that ethnocentrism reduces support for outgroup redistribution. To limit bias, scholarship suggests framing policies universally or addressing beneficiary deservingness. However, policies to support disadvantaged groups and ensure equity cannot always be framed in universal terms. Moreover, dominant groups often hold minoritized groups to a deservingness double standard. Thus, we ask: what are effective ways of mollifying ethnocentric bias in policy evaluation? We argue that principles of distributive justice -- normative justifications for who should get what and why -- can reduce ethnocentric bias. We test through three experiments in Slovakia and with the Roma as the outgroup. Frames using the distributive principle of reciprocity reduce ethnocentric bias amongst majorities; conversely, frames centered around the principle of need garner minority support. Given salient anti-Roma prejudice, we consider our findings a floor. For less stigmatized outgroups, reciprocity frames may bolster support for redistributive policies even further.
