Anatomy of The Anatomy of Racial Inequality
评述了Glenn Loury关于种族不平等剖析的两个关键论点:一是美国黑人的负面刻板印象具有自我实现性,二是种族污名化深嵌于公众意识并严重损害非洲裔美国人。
In this review, I summarize and offer thoughts about two arguments key to Glenn Loury's analysis of the anatomy of racial inequality. The first concerns the idea that many negative stereotypes held about blacks in the United States are self-fulfilling, despite little evidence of inherent differences between the races in human potential. The second argument concerns the proposition that the racial stigmatization of blacks is deeply embedded in the public consciousness and that such stigma racially biases socially cognitive processes to the severe detriment of African-Americans.
