本文分析了美国南部拉美裔移民的种族主义模式。根据该地区4200多篇新闻报道的独特数据集，我们发现拉美裔移民在新闻媒体中面临着多方面的种族主义，而且这种种族主义与非裔美国人的种族主义进程有本质上的相似之处。墨西哥和拉美裔移民最主要的负面特征集中在他们感知到的犯罪倾向上。拉丁裔犯罪的说法将关于黑人犯罪的隐含种族语言应用于新来的拉丁裔移民。对这些趋势的密切定性分析表明，种族主义正在循环，移民敌人挑战拉美裔或墨西哥移民为犯罪分子，而移民倡导者则以种族主义和歧视作为回应。来自四家非裔美国人报纸的补充分析表明，黑人精英认为拉美裔人在白人手中有着共同的种族歧视经历。
This article analyzes patterns in Latino immigrant racialization in the U.S. South. Drawing on a unique dataset of more than 4,200 news stories from the region, we find that Latino immigrants face multifaceted racialization in the news media and that this racialization shares substantive similarities with African American racialization processes. The most dominant negative characterizations of Mexican and Latino immigrants focus on their perceived criminal tendencies. Claims of Latino criminality apply implicitly coded racial language about black criminality to new Latino arrivals. A close qualitative analysis of these trends reveals an ongoing cycle of racialization in which immigration foes challenge Latino or Mexican immigrants as criminal elements and immigration advocates respond with charges of racism and discrimination. Supplemental analyses from four African American newspapers suggest that black elites perceive Latinos as sharing a common experience of racial discrimination at the hands of whites.
