最近的一些研究注意到过去几十年来黑人和白人之间的种族隔离有所减少，认为种族隔离在 21 世纪不再是一个问题。作为回应，本文重新审视了约翰·奎格利提出的有关种族隔离和社区的一些担忧，以评估它们在当今的相关性。我们注意到，虽然黑人和白人之间的隔离程度确实有所下降，但仍然相当高。与此同时，西班牙裔和亚裔种族隔离仍然没有改变。此外，我们的分析表明，少数族裔的邻里环境仍然与白人的邻里环境高度不平等。黑人和西班牙裔人继续生活在更弱势的邻居中，进入表现较差的学校，并面临更多的暴力犯罪。此外，这些差异在更加隔离的大都市区会被放大。 (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
Noting the decline in segregation between blacks and whites over the past several decades, some recent work argues that racial segregation is no longer a concern in the 21st century. In response, this paper revisits some of the concerns that John Quigley raised about racial segregation and neighborhoods to assess their relevance today. We note that while segregation levels between blacks and whites have certainly declined, they remain quite high; Hispanic and Asian segregation have meanwhile remained unchanged. Further, our analysis shows that the neighborhood environments of minorities continue to be highly unequal to those enjoyed by whites. Blacks and Hispanics continue to live among more disadvantaged neighbors, to have access to lower performing schools, and to be exposed to more violent crime. Further, these differences are amplified in more segregated metropolitan areas. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
