本研究以Charles Parrish的开创性作品作为比较基础，通过解构当代围绕肤色的语言和态度，作为“颜色名称和颜色概念”的后续研究。由58名年龄在18岁到25岁之间的黑人女性组成的9个焦点小组显示，所提供的颜色名称和颜色概念与帕里什发现的许多术语和刻板印象一致，从而表明非裔美国人的颜色主义意识形态没有改变。参与者讨论了40种通常用来描述浅色、中等肤色和深色肤色的颜色名称。与浅色肤色相关的术语和态度通常是负面的；相反，与深色肤色相关的术语和态度则带有贬义。与中等肤色相关的语言和信仰表明，肤色歧视是一种三层结构，而不是传统的二元范式。
Employing the pioneering work of Charles Parrish as a basis of comparison, this study serves as a follow-up to “Color Names and Color Notions” by deconstructing the contemporary language and attitudes surrounding skin color. Nine focus groups with 58 black women between the ages of 18 and 25 reveal that the color names and color notions offered were consistent with many of the terms and stereotypes that Parrish found, thereby indicating that there has been no change in colorist ideology among African Americans. Participants discussed 40 color names regularly employed to describe light, medium, and dark skin tones. The terms and attitudes associated with light skin tones were generally negative; conversely, the terms and attitudes associated with dark skin tones were derogatory. The language and beliefs connected to medium skin tones indicate that colorism operates as a three-tiered structure rather than the traditionally situated binary paradigm.
