Abstract: Study examined relations among skin color, cultural values, and individuals' perceived discrimination. Results revealed that immigrants to the U. S. experienced more unfair discrimination than non-immigrants, and individuals with darker skin color are more likely to experience discrimination than those with lighter skin color. In addition, the data indicated that those individuals' whose cultural values differ from the dominant values (e.g., collectivism and familism) in the U. S. are more likely to experience unfair discrimination than those who share the dominant values. Implications for research and society are discussed.
