在民权时代之前出生的美国人中，肤色与教育程度之间的关联性研究结果相当一致，但对于这种关系在后来出生的人群中是否持续存在，人们知之甚少。作者询问美国婴儿潮一代黑人和千禧一代之间肤色与教育程度之间的关联是否发生了变化。作者观察到，婴儿潮一代和千禧一代黑人女性之间的肤色与受教育程度之间的关联性出现了大幅下降，且具有统计显着性，而两组黑人男性之间的这种关联性下降幅度较小且不显着。与婴儿潮一代相比，千禧一代黑人的肤色与教育程度之间的关联性更大，似乎反映了前几代人的教育差异。这些结果强调需要将肤色歧视概念化为一个交叉问题，并建议在将早期人群中的肤色歧视证据推广到当今的年轻人时要谨慎。
Findings of an association between skin color and educational attainment have been fairly consistent among Americans born before the civil rights era, but little is known regarding the persistence of this relationship in later born cohorts. The authors ask whether the association between skin color and educational attainment has changed between black American baby boomers and millennials. The authors observe a large and statistically significant decline in the association between skin color and educational attainment between baby boomer and millennial black women, whereas the decline in this association between the two cohorts of black men is smaller and nonsignificant. Compared with baby boomers, a greater percentage of the association between skin color and educational attainment among black millennials appears to reflect educational disparities in previous generations. These results emphasize the need to conceptualize colorism as an intersectional problem and suggest caution when generalizing evidence of colorism in earlier cohorts to young adults today.
