VASQUEZ-PADILLA, Darío Hernán. Are We Aware of Racism? How Ethno-racial Categories, Skin color and Miscegenation Shape the Recognition of Racism in Colombia. Soc. Econ. [online]. 2019, n.36, pp.8-30. ISSN 1657-6357. https://doi.org/10.25100/sye.v0i36.5932.
This article examines the effect of ethnic-racial categories, skin color, and miscegenation on individuals’ perception on racism in Colombia. Utilizing ordered logistic regression models on a national sample from the 2010 and 2011 America’s Barometer, it is found that ethnic-racial self-identification categories and the recognition of racism are not associated, while darker-skinned individuals have a higher probability of recognizing this phenomenon. Findings also reveal that desiring to have a lighter skin color, understood as part of the whitening logic of miscegenation, has a strong negative association. This article contributes to the studies on racism in Latin America and calls for rethinking the use of ethnic-racial categories and the role of skin color in the analysis of racialized systems.
