这项研究通过关注本地和外国出生的群体以及包括劳动力参与、就业状况和贫困在内的关键社会经济结果，记录了南部腹地六个州的种族民族等级制度。过去 20 年来，来自拉丁美洲国家进入这些国家的移民比例急剧增加；对于来自亚洲国家的移民来说，情况确实如此。使用公共微观数据样本和美国社区调查数据，我们发现，尽管白人在人口和经济上仍然占主导地位，但本土和外国出生的亚洲人开始分享这一经济地位。结果还表明，非裔美国人和西班牙裔移民通常处于等级制度的最底层，但这些群体的顺序可能会根据背景和衡量标准而发生变化。总体而言，种族关系的白人与黑人框架可能正在慢慢转变为复杂的、多方面的种族等级制度，但黑人在南方腹地仍然处于相当不利的地位。
This research documents the racial-ethnic hierarchy in six Deep South states by focusing on native- and foreign-born groups and key socioeconomic outcomes including labor force participation, employment status, and poverty. The proportion of immigrants from Latin American countries entering these states has increased dramatically over the last 20 years; this is true to a lesser extent for immigrants from Asian nations. Using Public Use Microdata Samples and American Community Survey data, we find that although whites remain dominant demographically and economically, native- and foreign-born Asians are beginning to share in that economic position. Results also indicate that African Americans and Hispanic immigrants are often at the bottom of the hierarchy, but that the order of the groups can shift depending on the context and measure. Overall, the white-black framework of race relations may be slowly transforming into a complicated, multifaceted racial hierarchy but blacks still remain considerably disadvantaged in the Deep South.
