Vue, Rican, et al. “Affirming Race, Diversity, and Equity Through Black and Latinx Students’ Lived Experiences.”American Educational Research Journal, vol. 54, no. 5, 2017, pp. 868-903.
This peer-reviewed scholar article was found in the JSTOR database (detected by the Google search) through entering key words “race affirmative action” and marking the publication period between 2017 and 2022. In it, authors address the perception of affirmative policy’s necessity within the framework of colorblindness. According to Black and Latin students interviewed for the research, regardless of seeming equality, minorities face racial discrimination or misunderstanding as racial colorblindness limits Whites’ ability to perceive their race-based struggles and issues. In addition, the achievements of colorblindness presented by the media do not represent the reality in which economic conditions create substantial barriers for minorities’ opportunities and equity (Vue et al. 892). The source may be regarded as credible as it reflects the attitude of minorities to affirmative actions. In addition, it provides an insight into the social attitude to this phenomenon indicating the necessity of changes.

Lee, Jennifer. “Asian Americans, Affirmative Action & the Rise in Anti-Asian Hate.”Daedalus, vol. 150, no. 2, 2021, pp. 180-198.
This peer-reviewed scholar article was found in the JSTOR database (detected by the Google search) through entering key words “race affirmative action” and marking the publication period between 2017 and 2022. It assesses the vulnerability of affirmative action in relation to Asian Americans who gain advantages due to moral worth, competence, and respectability politics, but nevertheless faced race-based hate during the pandemic. Related to the topic, this research demonstrates the weakness of race-based affirmative action in society as it is based on preferable actions rather than the understanding of people’s equality on the basis of basic human rights.
Bailey, Stanley R., et al. “Support for Race-Targeted Affirmative Action in Brazil.” Ethnicities, vol. 18, no. 6, 2018, pp. 765-798.
This peer-reviewed scholar article was found in the JSTOR database (detected by the Google search) through entering key words “race affirmative action” and marking the publication period between 2017 and 2022. In it, authors assess the attitude of Brazilians to race-based affirmative policies for African descendants in relation to university education. When quotas were introduced in 2010, the majority of citizens express support, however, in 2012, the level of acceptance was critically low (Bailey et al. 765). The source may be regarded as credible as it addresses the factors that form people’s attitude to affirmative action. In particular, in Brazil, in contrast with the United States, poor education and low income are associated with greater support. On the basis of this information, measures for efficient response for the acceptance of social just may be developed.
Valente, Rubia R., and Brian J. L. Berry. “Performance of Students Admitted through Affirmative Action in Brazil.” Latin American Research Review, vol. 52, no. 1, 2017, pp. 18-34.
This peer-reviewed scholar article was found in the JSTOR database (detected by the Google search) through entering key words “race affirmative action” and marking the publication period between 2017 and 2022. In it, authors aim to evaluate the performance of Brazilian university students who admitted through either affirming or traditional methods. According to the results, there is no difference between them in public universities and better performance of quota students in private facilities (Valente and Berry 18). This article is essential as it demonstrates the results of race affirmative action. In addition, the article shows its necessity for social just and well-being.
Turner, Claudine, and Liz Grauerholz. “Introducing the Invisible Man: Black Male Professionals in Higher Education.”Humboldt Journal of Social Relations, vol. 39, no. 39, 2017, pp. 212-227.
This peer-reviewed scholar article was found in the JSTOR database (detected by the Google search) through entering key words “race affirmative action” and marking the publication period between 2017 and 2022. It refers to the disturbing issue of the underrepresentation of Black male professionals in higher education. While Black students are attracted on the basis of race affirmative policy, educators are supposed to be guided by colorblindness. However, the majority of Black professionals leave job due to discrimination – as a result, students cannot be represented properly (Turner and Grauerholz 212). This reliable article addresses the topic and shows the social issue of race-based affirmative action as it cannot be complete to the fullest extent.
