Inequality Study Guide: Beginning with Chapter 22

 
 
 
 
1. The Negro Blood states that anyone "with more than 1/32 Negro blood" is black. Susie Guillory Phillips is unusual in that she has white skin but is officially registered as black.

2. Phillips' case is significant because it shows the arbitrariness of and state's role in defining racial categories.

3. Immigration and intermarriage are the two demographic trends that make it difficult to measure race and ethnicity

4. The implications of multiple-race reporting are as follows: (1) census categories and instructions affect the answers given, (2) parents report more information on their children than their children do on themselves once grown up, (3) possible future effects on government programs for certain races or ethnicities, and (4) more people identifying as a particular race or ethnicity could skew statistics on that race/ethnicity.

5. Growing up in an immigrant family is difficult because immigrants are stuck between two different social and cultural worlds while trying to adapt to a new place.

6. There are fewer entry-level jobs with opportunities for advancement to advanced positions today than there were 50 years ago.

7. Race relations have changed dramatically in that the barriers set up by white elites now bar just the black underclass instead of all black people.

8. Interaction has changed, especially in the labor market, to an exclusionary policy based on class instead of race.
