什么是种族，它对政治参与有什么影响？以往的研究表明，亚裔美国人的参与差异，不同于拉丁美洲人，不能用社会人口和群体意识变量来解释。越来越多的学者认为，种族是一个不断发展的，而不是一个静态的现象，本研究提出了多方面的措施，两个移民群体的种族。重新检查1984年数据集的一部分，其中包含一个独特的过度抽样的亚裔和墨西哥裔美国人在加州，它发现，这两个群体，尽管有巨大的社会经济差距，承担类似的种族和参与结构。对这两个群体来说，文化适应增加了参与;对祖国文化的依恋不一定会阻碍参与;群体意识的作用比以前想象的要复杂得多。
What is ethnicity and how does it matter for political participation? Previous research has shown that the participatory disparity of Asian Americans, as different from Latinos, cannot be explained with sociodemographic and group consciousness variables. Adopting the view of a growing body of scholars who think ethnicity is an evolving rather than a static phenomenon, this study proposes multidimensional measures of ethnicity for two immigrant groups. Reexamining part of the 1984 data set that contains a unique oversampling of Asian and Mexican Americans in California, it is found that the two groups, despite a huge socioeconomic gap, bear similar ethnicity and participation structures. For both groups, acculturation increases participation; attachment to homeland culture does not necessarily discourage participation; and the role of group consciousness is much more complex than previously conceived.
