This article examines the racial and economic divide in home PC ownership across four census regions of the U.S. Our analyses are based on supplementary data from the Census Bureau’s August 2000 Current Population Survey. The results indicate that White households are significantly more likely to own a PC than African American households in all regions. The extent of this racial divide is greatest in the Midwest and smallest in the West, and particularly high in the $50,000–$75,000 income category. The racial divide in PC ownership is negated only in households earning more than $75,000 annually. A significantly large income divide also exists among African American PC owners in all regions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":88662,"journal":{"name":"Race & society : Official journal of the Association of Black Sociologists","volume":"5 2","pages":"Pages 163-177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.racsoc.2004.01.003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"55150327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key role that race plays is to help our understanding of the effects of causes or interventions through the statistical “interaction” of race with causal variables, rather than as “the main effect of race.” These ideas are briefly illustrated using data from a study of tests constructed to manipulate the distribution of scores of Black and White test takers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":88662,"journal":{"name":"Race & society : Official journal of the Association of Black Sociologists","volume":"4 2","pages":"Pages 219-233"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1090-9524(03)00011-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56407804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, I investigate how the transnational breadth of racism and anti-Semitism affects Jewish- and African-Americans perspectives on Arab–Israeli conflicts.
