我们表明，种族观念是流动的；个人如何看待自己的种族以及他人如何看待自己，部分取决于他们的社会地位。利用来自美国代表性样本的纵向数据，我们发现，失业、被监禁或贫困的人更有可能被视为黑人，而不太可能被视为白人，无论他们之前是如何被分类或被识别的。这与种族不是一个固定的个人属性，而是一个可变的地位标志的观点是一致的。
We show that racial perceptions are fluid; how individuals perceive their own race and how they are perceived by others depends in part on their social position. Using longitudinal data from a representative sample of Americans, we find that individuals who are unemployed, incarcerated, or impoverished are more likely to be seen and identify as black and less likely to be seen and identify as white, regardless of how they were classified or identified previously. This is consistent with the view that race is not a fixed individual attribute, but rather a changeable marker of status.
