美国中西部一所高中的中年黑人和白人毕业生回答了关于种族和种族认同的面试问题。他们的回答包括对警察骚扰和犯罪的描述，并将重点放在那些被认为是犯罪行为的人身上：最常见的显然是贫穷的黑人男子。对38次采访的定性分析表明，关于种族认同的问题涉及到一种话语，这种话语将罪犯构建和定型为占据由种族、阶级和性别定义的社会职位，特别是对非裔美国人来说。交叉性的概念阐明了警察与穷人黑人男性接触公民的文化建设，以及不同种族、阶级和性别认同的受访者讲述--和不讲述--种族认同故事的具体性质。
Middle-aged black and white graduates of a Midwestern US high school responded to interview questions about race and racial identity. Their answers included descriptions of police harassment and crime, and focused on those considered to be criminal actors: most often apparently poor, black men. Qualitative analysis of 38 interviews showed that questions about racial identity tapped into a discourse that constructs and stereotypes criminals as occupying social positions defined by race, class and gender, particularly for African Americans. The concept of intersectionality illuminates the cultural construction of police encounters with citizens in terms of poor black men, and the specific nature of the stories of racial identity told-and not told-by respondents with different race, class and gender identities.
