• 1. Racism ignored; 2. The racialization of Latinos; 3. The measurement of Latina/o racism/ethnicism; 4. Why white America opposes immigration; 5. Attitudes about punishment and policing; 6. Why whites favor restrictive voting laws; 7. The electoral implications of Latina/o racism/ethnicism; 8. Conclusion.

'Ramirez and Peterson have given me a lot to think about. There was a time we all assumed that anti-Latino sentiment was a shadow of the much more virulent anti-black racism but could be understood and studied on the same terms. These authors suggest that we need to reconceptualize anti-Latino biases and their policy implications as a distinct phenomenon, rooted in and exacerbated by the historical development of the population and the institutions created to disadvantage them. This work - its conclusions, and its implications - is a must-read for anyone seriously trying to grapple with understanding how, in 2020, 10,000 children can be locked in cages with the tacit approval of the majority of the American people.'
