All interviewees believed references to Hitler and the Holocaust exceeded any threshold of acceptability and that the death of 6 million people should never be associated with football. While denigration of Jewish rituals and practices was offensive and problematic for some, Jewish stereotypes tended to be downplayed, dismissed, or tolerated by most interviewees as part of the “banter” endemic in English supporter culture to lessen or disrupt the impact of the hate speech they endure. These responses indicate complex processes of anger, acceptance and rationalisation as recipients attempt to make sense of and deal with everyday antisemitism.","PeriodicalId":48345,"journal":{"name":"Ethnic and Racial Studies","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135858528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An important and underexplored area in quantitative research surrounds low profile behaviors. The term “low profile” refers to a set of behaviors that immigrants and immigrant groups adopt to reduce or mitigate exposure to a variety of risky environments and institutional threats, particularly the police. This study explores the relationship between immigrant statuses and low profile behaviors in communities using data from El Paso County, Texas neighborhoods. El Paso offers unique insight into a binational border context that has historically welcomed immigrants and immigrant groups. The results suggest that being a first-generation immigrant predicts the belief that neighbors are likely to keep a low profile from the police; however, once culture and neighborhood-level factors are taken into consideration, this effect wanes. These findings emphasize the importance of low profile behaviors for future study.KEYWORDS: Immigrationlow profile from policeimmigration and crimeEl Pasoimmigrant experiencelow profile behaviors Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Ethics statementDue to the use of secondary data in this article, this study was granted exemption by the Institutional Review Board at The University of Texas at El Paso (study number 1973835-1).Notes1 The inclusion of 1.5-generation is important and distinguishes itself for two important reasons. First, this category depends on age of migration. As Rumbaut (Citation2004) described, often times this designation is provided to immigrants who came to the U.S. as children. Second, migration at this key developmental stage is relevant as acculturation to U.S., and in our case México, may vary somewhat compared to those who came as adults. They had the opportunity to experience their home country during pre-adolescence, but still migrated at a time where they were still developing and endured a unique in-between cultural experience.2 This study initially considered other possibly relevant factors such as Hispanic, prior victimization, perception of crime, and acculturation to the U.S. However, there are several reasons these were removed from the final analysis. First, there was a need to streamline the analysis to allow for a more parsimonious model. Second, there was conceptual/operational overlap depending on the factor. For example, while including the ethnicity of the respondent is important, 78 percent of the respondents are Hispanic. Given the locale of study and other factors more directly related to the outcome (e.g., enculturation to México, Latina/o immigrants in neighborhoods), we elected to remove it.","PeriodicalId":48345,"journal":{"name":"Ethnic and Racial Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136353265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using survey data, I explore how Dominicans responded to the rapid influx of displaced Haitians in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, and find that when surveyed after the earthquake, Dominicans were more likely to self-identify with the popular and nationalist identity category of indio. I argue that this signaled a heightening of anti-Haitian sentiment in a moment of perceived increased racial threat to the Dominican racial order, and that this shift was facilitated by Latin American racial dynamics that allow for movement between enumerated racial categories in societies structured around the logic of mestizaje.KEYWORDS: Raceracial threatanti-blacknessimmigrant receptionmestizajeDominican Republic AcknowledgementsI thank Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, the editors, and the anonymous reviewers for their helpful suggestions in the production of this manuscript.

By providing a novel exploration of alt-right conspiracies during an international football tournament, a qualitative thematic analysis of 1,388 original tweets relating to Euro 2020 was undertaken. The findings reveal how, in criticisms levelled at both “wokeism” and the Black Lives Matter movement, anti-white criticisms of the “take the knee” protest were embroiled in alt-right conspiracies that exposed an assumed Cultural Marxist, “woke agenda” in the tournament’s organisation and mainstream media coverage. In conclusion, it is argued that conspiratorial discourses, associated with the alt-right, provided a framework through which the protest could be understood. This emphasises how the significance of conspiracy functions to promote the wider dissemination of alt-right ideology across popular cultural contexts, such as sport.","PeriodicalId":48345,"journal":{"name":"Ethnic and Racial Studies","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135435859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By focusing on the Kurdish diaspora as a case study, the authors suggest that diasporas gradually form collective memories that may align with or differ from the narratives of those who stayed in their home countries. The collective memory of diasporic communities is also shaped by various factors related to their new countries of residence.

This occurs when the echoes of political and institutional violence from “home” perpetually reverberate in the diaspora, and when host societies have constructed a securitization framework that progressively redefines Chechens from victims to perceived threats. Based on the case of the Chechens living in the EU since the early 2000s and grounded in field observations and semi-structured interviews conducted from 2015 to 2022, this paper delves into a “conflict-generated diaspora” in formation. Our aim is to understand the intricate interplay of factors and dynamics that contribute to the construction of individual and collective memories of a violent past within the Chechen diaspora. We also consider the impact of transgenerational memory transmission and generational divides.KEYWORDS: Conflict generated diasporaChechen warswar memoriesChechen diasporasecuritization Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 All names have been anonymised.
