All Academic Inc. (Abstract Management, Conference Management and Research Search Engine) Within the workplace, professional etiquette is a major ingredient in decision-making about an individual’s work space, location, integration, acceptance, and occupational mobility. Who we are dictates where we fit and how we are received. These sentiments and behavioral expectations act as directives position, which frame our ways of participating in society. For African American women, these informal and formal proscriptions are vital to their well-being and advancement in the workplace. African American women‘s desire to be promoted to managerial posts is determined by their relative gain in job rewards, but also by their etiquette, measured by the amount of emotional labor they perform. If they desire a promotion, they ponder if they will receive decision-making responsibilities and authority, prestige, resources, status, pecuniary benefits, and opportunities to continue advancing within their...

Race in Brazil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia However, some studies, focusing in the difference between self- and alter-classification show that this phenomenon is far more complex than "money whitens". For instance, according to a study conducted by Paula Miranda-Ribeiro and André Junqueira Caetano among women in Recife, while there is significant inconsistency between the "parda" and "preta" categories, most women are consistently classified by themselves and interviewers into "brancas" and non-brancas. 21,97% of women were consistently classified as White, and 55.13% of women were consistently classified as non-White, while 22.89% of women where inconsistently classified. But the inconsistently classified women reveal an important aspect of economic "whitening". "Self-darkening" women, i.e., those who view themselves as "pretas" or "pardas" but are classified as "brancas" by the interviewer...

Who’s Hispanic? - Pew Hispanic Center Q. What about Brazilians, Portuguese, and Filipinos? Are they Hispanic? A. They are in the eyes of the Census if they say they are, even though these countries do not fit the official OMB definition of "Hispanic" because they are not Spanish speaking. For the most part, people who trace their ancestry to these countries do not self-identify as Hispanic when they fill out their Census forms. Only about 4% of immigrants from Brazil do so, as do just 1% of immigrants from Portugal or the Philippines.3 These patterns reflect a growing recognition and acceptance of the official definition of Hispanics. In the 1980 Census, about one in six Brazilian immigrants and one in eight Portuguese and Filipino immigrants identified as Hispanic. Similar shares did so in the 1990 Census, but by 2000, the shares identifying as Hispanic dropped to levels close to those seen today.

Why the U.S. Census Misreads Hispanic and Arab Americans - TIME Many feel the Census also needs to fine-tune its idea of what is and isn't Hispanic. It tends to define Latin America as just the Spanish-speaking countries of the western hemisphere, when the term also encompasses Portuguese-speaking Brazil. It also includes Spaniards in the "Hispanic Origins" box, when in fact a Spaniard is a European, not a Hispanic.
