“…Why? Because unless we wish to make the more questionable claim that non-Whites are some unique human sub-species, the conceptual reality is that “minorities,” too, possess a multiplicity of attachments that they enjoy access to—a full repertoire of identities (Chandra 2004; 2012; García-Ríos et al 2018; Pérez 2015a, b; Pérez et al 2019; Sen and Wasow 2016).…”

This essay comments on three questions about race, ethnicity, and politics in the contemporary United States—How did we get here? Who are we now? And, where are we going next? I grapple with these questions as a political psychologist steeped in the study of intergroup politics. In this capacity, I will argue that structural (mis)calculations have paved the road toward present intergroup relations, where identity politics reigns supreme. I then discuss America's current racial landscape, arguing that reality is more complex than before, especially as it concerns political relations between Whites and non-Whites. In this regard, I will claim that political psychology holds special insights to generate new knowledge about how (non-)Whites are navigating this changing racial landscape. Finally, I will advocate, strongly, for a greater sense of wonder about the multiplicity of identities that people of color hold. In particular, I will claim that by relaxing our assumption that race is the main identity that matters to people of color, we stand to better appreciate just how adaptive non-Whites are to their political surroundings, leading us toward new insights about the origins and nature of mass political engagement and involvement.

“…How respondents view and interpret their identity is important to understanding how Latinos responded to the rhetoric in the 2016 election. Rooted in social identity theory, Garcia-Rios, Pedraza, and Wilcox-Archuleta (2018) argue that individuals contain a portfolio of multiple identities that can be used in the political decisionmaking process. Social identities that are more salient are more important to individuals and easily politicized via hostile rhetoric than less salient identities (Ellemers, Spears, and Doosje 2002;Pérez 2015a;Tajfel and Turner 1979).…”

“…They find that for Mexican Americans, national origin identity was made salient because of Trump's rhetoric. The basis for this theory rests on the idea that Mexican Americans with a positive group identity will engage in positive reinforcing identity management techniques when the group is impugned (Garcia-Rios, Pedraza, and Wilcox-Archuleta 2018). However, an identity that Garcia-Rios, Pedraza, and Wilcox-Archuleta (2018) do not consider is a racialized panethnic identity.…”

While evidence from California suggests that group threat mobilizes Latinos, nationally, there has never been a test case for this theory. In 2016, the Trump campaign provided a clear case of group threat through his divisive rhetoric and policy proposals targeting Mexican Americans and immigrants. Using the 2016 Collaborative Multi-Racial Post-Election Survey (CMPS) data, we find evidence that Latino voters were politically motivated by Trump’s anti-Latino rhetoric. We hypothesize that Latino voters who perceive Latinos as a racialized group and feel a sense of immigrant-linked fate are more likely to hold negative views toward the Republican candidate, and feel angry during the 2016 election. We further find that Latino voters who were angry were more likely to engage in political activities such as donating to campaigns, contacting government officials, and protesting during and shortly after the 2016 election. The findings hold for U.S. born Latinos as well as among non-Mexican Latinos who felt similarly targeted by Trump’s rhetoric and proposals.

“…Recent work has looked at various social categories and categorizations across various dimensions including geography as politically important group-based identities (Achen and Bartels 2016;Garcia-Rios, Pedraza, and Wilcox-Archuleta 2018;Hochschild 2016;Cramer 2016;Mason 2015). Other scholars have noted how experiences with different types of discrimination are linked to divergent political outcomes (Oskooii 2016(Oskooii , 2018, which are likely mediated by context and geography.…”

This article examines the extent to which economic attitudes, political predispositions, neighborhood context, and socio-demographic factors influence views toward adult, undocumented immigrants living and working in the United States. We specifically examine how these factors differ for respondents living in various types of American urban, suburban, and rural areas. Arguably, in the aftermath of the 2016 Presidential election, public opinion toward often racialized immigration policy proposals is incomplete without an understanding of the role of place and geographic identity. In the 2016 general election, 62 percent of rural voters cast a ballot for Trump, as compared with 50 percent of suburban voters, and 35 percent of urban voters. However, we know little about how their views toward undocumented immigration, a persistent hot-button issue, varied by geographic type. Our findings suggest that views toward undocumented immigrants currently living and working in the United States are conditioned by factors related to a respondent’s geographic type. We find that attitudes toward immigrants vary considerably across place. These findings provide support to our argument about the development of a geographic-based identity that has considerable impact on important public opinion attitudes, even after controlling for more traditional explanatory factors.
