In this article, I urge family scholars to anchor their race work on the structural racism perspective. First, I provide some limitations of the prejudice problematic used by most family scholars. Second, I discuss the basic components of my structural theory, which I call the racialized social system approach. Third, I bolster my original theorization with a new conceptual map to make the structure intelligible—to account for why actors, for the most part, behave in ways that reproduce the racial order. In this discussion, I highlight the importance of the “white habitus” in shaping the lives and behaviors of White people. Lastly, I conclude by summarizing my claims and asking family scholars to continue deepening their work on structural racism and families, as well as on fighting how it shapes their own fields and lives.

不是烂苹果！为什么家庭学者应该对种族主义采取结构性观点

在这篇文章中，我敦促家庭学者将他们的种族工作锚定在结构性种族主义的角度上。首先，我提供了大多数家庭学者使用的偏见问题的一些局限性。其次，我讨论了我的结构理论的基本组成部分，我称之为种族化社会系统方法。第三，我用一个新的概念图来支持我原来的理论，使结构更容易理解——解释为什么演员在大多数情况下会以再现种族秩序的方式行事。在这次讨论中，我强调了“白人习性”在塑造白人生活和行为方面的重要性。最后，我总结了我的主张，并要求家庭学者继续深化他们在结构性种族主义和家庭方面的工作，以及与它如何塑造他们自己的领域和生活的斗争。
