Acting white?
This book examines how racial judgments persist beyond skin color, often based on how individuals conform to or deviate from racial stereotypes. It argues that racial minorities are frequently evaluated on how they 'perform' their race through various aspects of their lives, from clothing and hair to social affiliations and speech patterns. The authors explore the subtle yet pervasive ways these behavioral expectations influence perceptions and contribute to discrimination.
