This paper contributes to the environmental justice literature by analyzing contextually relevant and racial/ethnic group-specific variables in relation to air toxics cancer risks in a US-Mexico border metropolis at the census block group-level. Results indicate that Hispanics' ethnic status interacts with class, gender and age status to amplify disproportionate risk. In contrast, results indicate that non-Hispanic whiteness attenuates cancer risk disparities associated with class, gender and age status. Findings suggest that a system of white-Anglo privilege shapes the way in which race/ethnicity articulates with other dimensions of inequality to create unequal cancer risks from air toxics.
本研究通过分析美国-墨西哥边境大都市中与种族/族裔相关的具体变量和与人口普查街区组层面空气毒物致癌风险有关的变量，为环境正义文献做出了贡献。研究结果表明，西班牙裔的族裔地位与阶级、性别和年龄状况相互作用，放大了不成比例的风险。相比之下，研究结果表明，非西班牙裔白种人的种族地位减弱了与阶级、性别和年龄状况相关的癌症风险差异。研究结果表明，一个白种盎格鲁特权体系塑造了种族/族裔与其他不平等维度相互作用的方式，从而导致空气毒物致癌风险的不平等。
