在这篇文章中，我认为美国典型的两种种族秩序(白人和非白人)正在经历一场深刻的变革。由于美国人口结构的急剧变化以及世界体系种族结构的变化，美国正在发展一种复杂的、类似拉丁美洲的种族秩序。具体地说，我认为新秩序将具有两个核心特征：三个组织松散的种族阶层(白人、荣誉白人和集体黑人)和一种色素控制逻辑。我考察了一些客观的、主观的和社会互动的指标，以评估拉美化的论点是否站得住脚。尽管需要更精炼的数据才能最终证明我的观点，但现有的指标支持我的观点。在总结这篇文章时，我概述了拉美化对美国种族关系未来的一些潜在影响。
In this article I argue that the bi-racial order (white vs non-white) typical of the United States is undergoing a profound transformation. Because of drastic changes in the demography of the nation as well as changes in the racial structure of the world-system, the United States is developing a complex, Latin America-like racial order. Specifically, I suggest that the new order will have two central features: three loosely organized racial strata (white, honorary white, and the collective black) and a pigmentocratic logic. I examine some objective, subjective, and social interaction indicators to assess if the Latin Americanization thesis holds some water. Although more refined data are needed to conclusively make my case, the available indicators support my thesis. I conclude this article by outlining some of the potential implications of Latin Americanization for the future of race relations in the United States.
