Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract In this chapter’s seven sections, the author describes key moments in the racialization of the five major races in the United States. After briefly discussing a biological perspective on race, he turns toward race as a sociological phenomenon. Drawing on resources from anthropology, psychology, economics, and sociology, he conveys key foundational theoretical perspectives for understanding the nature of race. Taking these resources together, race is a result of a power-laden process of racialization, with the terrain of race constituted by the social, political, and economic dynamics of racial formation. With the foregoing discussion establishing the context for consideration of racial inequality, the author relates the levels of inequality for several illustrative outcomes, assesses a subset for consequentiality, and identifies two directions and strategies for further work on racial inequality.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
