Racism is as ubiquitous as the air we breathe and the water we drink. This special section highlights burgeoning research examining White youth’s development in a racist society. This research is urgent given the current political context in the United States. Although promising, developmental science needs to catch up with the groundbreaking research being conducted on Whiteness in other disciplines. Developmental science requires a conceptual reset with the utilization of theories that center racism in youth development acknowledging the privileged status of Whiteness. Developmental science should acknowledge that racism is a universal influence for all youth’s development, including White youth.

白度与它有什么关系？

种族主义就像我们呼吸的空气和喝的水一样无处不在。这个特别部分重点介绍了研究白人青年在种族主义社会中的发展的新兴研究。鉴于美国当前的政治背景，这项研究非常紧迫。尽管前景广阔，但发展科学需要赶上其他学科对白度进行的开创性研究。发展科学需要利用以种族主义为中心的理论进行概念重置，承认白人的特权地位。发展科学应该承认种族主义是对所有青年发展的普遍影响，包括白人青年。
