Larimore, Savannah, Ellis Monk, María Vignau-Loría, Thiago Marques, and Hedwig Lee. “Domains of Discrimination in Latin America: Differential Perceptions by Race and Skin Color.”
Description: The goal of this project is to determine the association between race, skin color, and perceived discrimination within and across six distinct domains: job searches, social events, public places, police encounters, family, and health centers. We use data from the 2010 Project on Ethnicity and Race in Latin America and estimate mixed-effects logistic regression models to model the association between race, skin color, and perceived discrimination within each domain and across multiple domains, controlling for relevant confounding variables. Respondents were more likely to report discrimination during job searches than any other domain. Relative to White respondents, Mixed-White, Indigenous, and Afro-descendant respondents were more likely to report discrimination, but this pattern varies within and across domains. Respondents with darker skin tones were more likely to report discrimination, regardless of race. Indigenous and Afro-descendant respondents with darker skin tones report discrimination more often and from more sources than other groups. Discrimination is a primary public health concern in Latin America that is patterned by race and skin color. Discrimination is particularly common during job searches, among Indigenous and Afro-descendant respondents, and among respondents with darker skin tones.
