Implications of Projection for
Dark-Skinned Puertorriqueños

Research Report No. 21

September 1997

 

Not only are Anglo-Americans consistently regarded as perpetrators but African-American minorities are consistently regarded as victims. In fact, "minority" is a political term that includes an ever-expanding assortment of races and ethnic groups differentiated from Anglo-Americans by skin color. This view of "minority" does not take account of the historical miscegenation among an increasingly indistinct Puerto Rican population. This paper will attempt to move the dialogue addressing racism from discussions of "race" to discussions of skin color.
