在9/11事件后的美国人的想象中，来自中东的恐怖分子和来自美国边境南部的非法移民工人的刻板形象一直出现在媒体和言论中。美国对拉丁美洲人和中东穆斯林的主要代表不仅塑造了美国政府和媒体如何将他们视为“棕色威胁”，而且塑造了美国公民如何将这些少数群体视为危险的、外国的、不真实的和棕色（艾德）美国人。通过分析法律，修辞和视觉文化，布朗威胁的概念质疑当代拉丁美洲人和中东穆斯林的混淆。
In the post-9/11 American imagination, stereotypical images of the terrorist from the Middle East and the illegal migrant worker from south of the US border consistently appear in media and rhetoric. Dominant US representations of Latinos and Middle Eastern Muslims shape not only how US government and media construes them as “Brown Threats,” but also how citizens in the US interpret these minority groups as dangerous, foreign, inauthentic and brown(ed) Americans. By analyzing law, rhetoric and visual culture, the concept of the Brown Threat interrogates contemporary conflations of Latinos and Middle Eastern Muslims.
