“…Outside of the laboratory, this suggests, for instance, that reminding non-Black racial minorities of the discrimination their groups face may boost recruitment for groups such as the NAACP (a group that promotes equality but is historically focused on Black Americans). Consistent with this idea, Asian Americans and Latinos came together in an organization called "The Coalition for Harmony in Monterey Park" in the 1980s to fight a resolution that would make English the official language and require Englishonly business signs-measures that were perceived as discriminating against recent Asian and Latino immigrants (Calderon, 1992;Horton, 1992). Furthermore, considering the changing racial and ethnic demographics of the United States and the projected emergence of a "majority-minority" populace, exploring the influence of potential similarities and a common categorization among racial minority group members is important to further our understanding of racial dynamics in the coming years.…”

Five studies explored how perceived societal discrimination against one's own racial group influences racial minority group members' attitudes toward other racial minorities. Examining Black-Latino relations, Studies 1a and 1b showed that perceived discrimination toward oneself and one's own racial group may be positively associated with expressed closeness and common fate with another racial minority group, especially if individuals attribute past experiences of discrimination to their racial identity rather than to other social identities (Study 1b). In Studies 2-5, Asian American (Studies 2, 3, and 4) and Latino (Study 5) participants were primed with discrimination against their respective racial groups (or not) and completed measures of attitudes toward Black Americans. Participants primed with racial discrimination expressed greater positivity toward and perceived similarity with Blacks than did participants who were not primed. These results suggest, consistent with the common ingroup identity model (Gaertner & Dovidio, 2000), that salient discrimination against one's own racial group may trigger a common "disadvantaged racial minority" (ingroup) identity that engenders more positive attitudes toward and feelings of closeness toward other racial minorities.

“…While government entities have preferred Hispanic over Latino, there is no consensus in the academic literature on which terms should be preferred, and recently, new terminology has circulated, including Latin@, Latina/o, and, more recently, Latinx (Alcoff, 2005). While we recognize the utility of a pan-ethnic identity (e.g., for collective action), we also acknowledge that Latino immigrants are a heterogeneous group (Calderón, 1992;Mallet & Pinto-Coelho, 2018;Schiller et al, 2006) that cannot be reduced to the sum of its parts and that this catch-all category oversimplifies the rich diversity among the members of the group. However, despite the vast differences-whether they be in generation or national origin, Latinos share a common label that symbolizes minority-group status in the United States.…”

This special issue addresses the need for cross-national analyses on immigrant integration. The articles in this issue examine the integration processes of Latino immigrants in the United States and in Spain in several aspects—socioeconomic, legal, educational, and political—and through varied methods—quantitative as well as qualitative—contributing to the literature in several ways. By focusing on the same ethnic group across different contexts, it provides a thorough comparison of the mechanisms at play in their integration processes. It emphasizes the context-specific and culture-specific elements that most affect immigrants’ integration. This special issue gathers nine articles that offer complementary perspectives on the integration of Latino immigrants in Spain and the United States.

“…The term “Hispanic” can include anyone of Spanish descent and refers to linguistic origins, but individuals who do not speak Spanish may still identify as Hispanic. The terms “Latino/a/x” refer to individuals with origins in Latin America and the Caribbean, including French-speaking Haitians and Portuguese-speaking Brazilians ( 40 ). Both terms have imperial histories and related cultural implications (for example, someone with Portuguese ancestry may be strongly opposed to affiliating with Spanish descent) ( 38 , 40 ).…”

The most used term, “Hispanic,” is outdated and unlikely to reflect the internalized ethnic identity of many members of NC's communities ( 37 ).…”

As frequently segregated and exploitative environments, workplaces are important sites in driving health and mortality disparities by race and ethnicity. Because many worksites are federally regulated, US workplaces also offer opportunities for effectively intervening to mitigate these disparities. Development of policies for worker safety and equity should be informed by evidence, including results from research studies that use death records and other sources of administrative data. North Carolina has a long history of Black/white disparities in work-related mortality and evidence of such disparities is emerging in Hispanic and American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) worker populations. The size of Hispanic and AI/AN worker populations have increased in North Carolina over the last decade, and North Carolina has the largest AI/AN population in the eastern US. Previous research indicates that misidentification of Hispanic and AI/AN identities on death records can lead to underestimation of race/ethnicity-specific mortality rates. In this commentary, we describe problems and complexities involved in determining AI/AN and Hispanic identities from North Carolina death records. We provide specific examples of misidentification that are likely introducing bias to occupational mortality disparity documentation, and offer recommendations for improved data collection, analysis, and interpretation. Our primary recommendation is to build and maintain relationships with local community leadership, so that improvements in the ascertainment of race and ethnicity are grounded in the lived experience of workers from communities of color.
