同じAfrican-Americanでも、
肌の色の黒さによってOutcomeに結構差があるという話。

• Lighter-skinned Latinos in the United States make $5,000 more on average than darker-skinned Latinos.

• The education test-score gap between light-skinned and dark-skinned African-Americans is nearly as large as the gap between whites and blacks.

• Darker-skinned African-American defendants are more than twice as likely to receive the death penalty as lighter-skinned African-American defendants for crimes of equivalent seriousness involving white victims.

• Colorism also influenced the 2008 presidential race. In an experiment that fall, Drew Westen, a psychologist at Emory, and other researchers shot different versions of a political advertisement in support of Mr. Obama. One version showed a light-skinned black family. Another version had the same script, but used a darker-skinned black family. Voters, at an unconscious level, were less inclined to support Mr. Obama after watching the ad featuring the darker-skinned family than were those who watched the ad with the lighter-skinned family.
