Two explanations for the persistence of racial inequality predominate in America's ideological battles. The left blames racism, while the right pins the responsibility on minority groups' own culture and behavior. Some on the right insist that racial minorities face no impediments. Just the opposite, they say -- white people now encounter discrimination because of policies such as affirmative action.
The picture of race that the social psychologist Claude Steele offers in his work is different. Racial identity, as he sees it, affects people's thinking and action in countless ways but often without any awareness or malice. People pick up on cues -- a topic of conversation, the language used in an employment brochure, the number of people of their own race or gender in a classroom or office -- and react on the basis of internalized concerns about being stereotyped. While people in every group register these signals, members of racial minorities often experience a threat -- what Steele calls "stereotype" or "identity" threat -- that impairs their performance
