(2) fluid racial classification schemes are an indicator of racial progress and the colorblind\u00a0abolition of racial classifications an indicator of absolute racial harmony; (3) racism is solely a phenomenon of aberrant racist individuals; and (4) focusing on race is itself racist.\u00a0 Because the multiracial matrix parallels much Latin American race discourse, Professor Hern\u00e1ndez conducts a comparative analysis between U.S. and Latin American anti-discrimination law enforcement practices.\u00a0 Professor Hern\u00e1ndez concludes that the new race ideology bolsters the maintenance of race hierarchy in a racially diverse population.\u00a0 Consequently, an uncritical embrace of the new race ideology will hinder the enforcement of antidiscrimination law in the United States.\u00a0 Professor Hern\u00e1ndez proposes that a greater focus on racism as a global issue that treats race as a political identity formation will assist in the recognition of the civil rights dangers of a multiracial matrix.<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire article <a href=\"http:\/\/scholarship.law.cornell.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=2889&amp;context=clr\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Multiracial Matrix: The Role of Race Ideology in the Enforcement of Anti-Discrimination Laws, a United States \u2013 Latin America Comparison Cornell Law Review Volume 87, Number 5 (July 2002) Cornell University Law School Tanya\u00a0Kater\u00ed Hern\u00e1ndez, Professor of Law Fordham University This Article examines the role of race ideology in the enforcement of antidiscrimination laws.\u00a0 Professor [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,21,1467,8,20],"tags":[2114,2113,5161,2112],"class_list":["post-5184","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","category-latincarib","category-law","category-media-archive","category-usa","tag-cornell-law-review","tag-tanya-hernandez","tag-tanya-k-hernandez","tag-tanya-kateri-hernandez"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5184"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5184\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45366,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5184\/revisions\/45366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
