Capitalism, Racism, and Trumpism: Whitelash and the Politics of Oppression
That the rising tide of fascism, headwinds of neoliberalism, or persistence of racism in the United States is institutional, systemic, and part of a long history of oppression towards various groups is not new news. The bigger question is how we got to a point in which overt manifestations of racism, sexism, faux democracy, and other forms of illegality and authoritarianism has once again become normalized. What does it mean when a sitting Presid…
“At the mercy of the State”: Transgender and nonbinary young adults’ experiences navigating restrictive healthcare legislation
The summer of 2020: Racialized framing and how threat is used to oppose social activism
Racial Capitalism and Whitelash: Trumpism and the Politics of Oppression Redux–A New Normal or Just New Perfume in an Old Bottle
There is no question that Donald Trump’s actions in his second presidential term have many people bewildered, shocked, and frightened. What was deemed “not normal” in his first term in office has quickly become the “new normal.” In this paper, we argue that part of the explanation for the rise, and repeated rise, of Trumpism lies in Donald Trump’s ability to fuel and maintain a whitelash against the social progress of the 20th and early 21st cent…
Feeling” immigration: How racist nativism and racialized emotions shape American attitudes toward immigration
To See or Not to See: Latinx (In)Visibility at a Newly Designated Hispanic-Serving Institution
More than two-thirds of Latinx undergraduate students in the U.S. obtain their college degrees from Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI), a designation based on the proportion of students who are of Latinx descent and low-income, instead of any federal guidelines for serving Latinx students. Existing literature identifies factors that aid students’ success at HSIs, but there is little knowledge about how Latinx students experience newly designated…
Racialized Emotions: Happiness and Pleasure in American Racism
This article addresses Dr. Eduardo Bonilla‐Silva's challenge to examine positive emotions as part of racism, a concept he labeled Racialized Emotions . For good reason, contemporary scholars often emphasize negative attitudes and emotions associated with modern‐day racism and how they hinder support for racial policies and political actors. However, we argue that reflections on racially controversial policies and political actors can produce posi…
Opposition Toward Focusing on Race and Racism in the Classroom: Genuine Appeals or Racial Resentment
Race and Ethnic Relations
North American black bears, like people, come in a wide variety of colors. They formed the basis of an interesting experiment about race by Lawrence Hirschfeld (1996) , professor of anthropology and psychology at the University of Michigan. Hirschfeld showed Americans pictures of a light bear and a dark bear, and three bear cubs—one light, one dark, and one in between. Most people, children and adults, correctly predicted that the intermediate-co…
Sociology
Sociology
This best-selling textbook returns for an eighth edition with material on the most fundamental issues in sociology today. The authors continue their tradition of focusing on the big picture, with an emphasis on race, class, and gender in every chapter—building on the seventh edition’s discussion of reproductive justice after the revocation of Roe v. Wade, social movements such as Black Lives Matter and #MeToo, a discussion of the COVID-19 pandemi…
Food Insecurity within a Public University and the Role of Food Assistance Programs Amid the Global Pandemic
Food insecurity (FI) is a pressing concern among university students in the United States, and the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated this issue. Providing food assistance for university students has become more challenging due to pandemic-related consequences and interventions. This study aims to (1) analyze social inequalities in FI among university students in a large public university during the pandemic, (2) investigate the association of the…
Understanding the Rise of Anti-Political Correctness Sentiment: The Curious Role of Education
The anti-politically correct (PC) stance has been a key defensive position held by many conservative Americans for more than three decades. This position holds that being forced to be politically correct hinders open dialogue and debate on important yet sensitive issues, especially those around race and racism. However, scholars have questioned this anti-PC orientation and tied it to political orientation and racism. One caveat that stands as the…

Protecting Whiteness: Whitelash and the Rejection of Racial Equality
Insights into the racialized fear of change in US society The standoff at Cliven Bundy’s ranch, the rise of white identity activists on college campuses, and the viral growth of white nationalist videos on YouTube vividly illustrate the resurgence of white supremacy and overt racism in the United States. White resistance to racial equality can be subtle as well—like art museums that enforce their boundaries as elite white spaces, “right on crime”…
Strength in Numbers: Perceptions of Political Commonality with African Americans among Asians and Asian Americans in the United States
Asians are now the fastest growing racial minority group in the United States. Nearly 18 million Asians and Asian Americans currently reside in the country. Approximately 44 million African Americans also live in the United States. To improve their limited social, economic, and political clout, Asians and Asian Americans in the United States (AAAUS) could benefit from the formation of mutually beneficial political alliances with African Americans…
From Yellow Peril to Model Minority: Perceived Threat by Asian Americans in Employment
Objectives The purpose of this project is to assess (1) presence of anger toward Asian Americans “taking jobs,” and (2) whether stereotypes, feelings of competitive threat, and principles of equality predict increased presence of anger. Methods We used an experimental list survey of 416 participants, which reduces social desirability effects compared to traditional surveys. Results Findings show feelings of group competition and threat were stron…
Seeking Evidence of Grade Inflation at For-profit Colleges and Universities
This research develops a quantitative test for anecdotal, qualitative claims that, relative to more traditional institutes of higher education, for-profit colleges and universities engage in systemic grade-inflation to retain students who may not be academically viable. This research used the National Center for Education Statistic’s Beginning Postsecondary Survey 2003/2009 Longitudinal Study (BPS) to test this claim by examining the correlation …
Veiled Threats: Color-Blind Frames and Group Threat in Affirmative Action Discourse
This research examines the way color-blind rhetorical techniques are used by supporters and opponents in legal documents submitted to the latest U.S. Supreme court case on affirmative action. Eduardo Bonilla-Silva posited that color-blind ideology is the dominant racial ideology in the United States. We focused our critical discourse analysis particularly on the use of color-blind frames as described by Bonilla-Silva. This research also assesses …
Breast is Best, Donor Next: Peer Breastmilk Sharing in Contemporary Western Motherhood
Peer breastmilk sharing-the unregulated gifting of human milk for the purpose of feeding a child-is a growing practice in Western societies despite official warnings against it. Milk sharing occurs in a context of breastfeeding promotion, and cultural expectations that mothers take individual responsibility for their children's health, weigh expert recommendations on childrearing, and engage in responsible consumerism to minimize children's toxic…
The significance of place: The impact of urban and regional residence on gender-role attitudes
The study assesses the overall impact of place of residence (urban and Southern) on gender-role attitudes. Past research has often implicated timing of socialization, posing that attitudinal formation occurs either during childhood or adulthood. We propose an additional and more nuanced model that points to place by arguing that social relations in urban and Southern locations have long-lasting and powerful effects on attitudes. Using nationally …
Racial Resentment and Attitudes Toward the Use of Force by Police: An Over-Time Trend Analysis
On the heels of recent police shootings of an unarmed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, Walter Scott in North Charleston, South Carolina, and the death of Freddy Gray in Baltimore, Maryland, that stoked racial tensions, this article examines how beliefs about race and racial inequality influence whites' attitudes toward the use of force by the police since the mid-1980s. Our main dependent measure is a composite index ('Police Force Index') co…
Group Position, Threat, and Immigration: The Role of Interest Groups and Elite Actors in Setting the “Lines of Discussion
The purpose of this paper is to move research on racial attitudes away from studying intraindividual attitudes toward studying broader structural factors that contribute to the attitudes and feelings of U.S. citizens. We focus on how interest groups and elite actors play a role in shaping the discourse on immigrants and the immigration debate in the twenty-first century. Herbert Blumer posed that over time, the dominant group develops certain fee…
Place matters: The impact of place of residency on racial attitudes among regional and urban migrants
The impact of place? A reassessment of the importance of the South in affecting beliefs about racial inequality
Research shows that individuals living in the southern part of the United States express more negative racial attitudes than those living outside the South. Using data from The American National Election Study (NES), the purpose of this paper is to assess whether key factors often associated with the Southern attitude distinction are indeed more potent in the South than elsewhere. Drawing data from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, we further assess w…
Assessing the Effects of Urbanism and Regionalism on Gender-Role Attitudes, 1974-1998
In this article, we analyze the effects of urbanism and Southern regionalism on traditional gender-role attitudes. Our main dependent variable is an index of gender traditionalism constructed from four items asked across several years from 1974 to 1998 by the General Social Survey. As in previous research and consistent with the classical theoretical propositions of Wirth and Stouffer, we find that people living in more urban areas are more likel…

The Interaction of Race and Gender: Changing Gender‐Role Attitudes, 1974–2006
Objective. The purpose of this article is to assess over‐time trends in the interactive effects of gender and race on attitudes toward the changing roles of women in U.S. society. Methods. This article uses data from the 1974–2006 General Social Survey. Gender‐role attitudes are measured using two composite indices of traditionalism. Results. We find black females tend to hold less traditional gender‐role attitudes than their black male, white ma…
The F Word: College Students’ Definitions of a Feminist
Research indicates that most people espouse feminist ideologies, yet very few self‐identify as feminists. This article examines the discrepancy between agreement with feminist principles and lack of identification with feminism by analyzing 270 female and male college students’ definitions of feminists. We explored similarities and differences in definitions provided by self‐identified feminists and nonfeminists. The results indicate that feminis…

Trends in Marital Happiness by Gender and Race, 1973 to 2006
This article uses data from the 1973-2006 General Social Survey to assess the interactive impact of race and gender on marital happiness over time. Findings indicate independent and significant effects for both variables, with Whites and husbands reporting greater marital happiness than Blacks and wives. Comparing four subgroups (White husbands, White wives, Black husbands, and Black wives), the authors find that White husbands report the highest…

Words V. Deeds: A Comparison of Religious Belief and Environmental Action
In 1967 Lynn White, Jr. proclaimed that “Human ecology is deeply conditioned by beliefs about our nature and destiny...that is, by religion” (p. 1205). White attributed environmental problems to the Christians' adherence to the Genesis account of creation which provides an injunction for humans to use nature to their advantage and to have dominion over the Earth. His proclamation generated a debate among sociologists, theologians, philosophers, a…

A Cosmopolitan Way of Life for All: A Reassessment of the Impact of Urban and Region on Racial Attitudes From 1972 to 2006
The purpose of this article is to re-evaluate the independent impact of urban and regional residency on racial tolerance from 1972 to 2006. Recent scholarship has questioned the extent to which the effects of these subcultures reflect general toleration and/or more deep-seated underlying racial attitudes. Using data collected by the National Opinion Research Center’s General Social Survey, this article builds upon past research by including diffe…
Beliefs about the Causes of Racial Inequality: The Persisting Impact of Urban and Suburban Locations?
The purpose of this paper is to assess the classical theoretical propositions of Wirth and Stouffer regarding the independent impact of urban and suburban residency on beliefs about racial inequality. This paper further assesses the impacts of these social locations over a three-decade period. While scholars pose that city size positively impacts behavior, there is debate regarding the impact of these locations over time. Using the General Social…
