Abstract
Rodrigo and the professor meet at an airport where the younger scholar has gone to pick up the more senior of the two after a long flight The two discuss Latino legal fortunes and scholarship about the group including a recent study of the first Latino federal judge The two discuss recent work suggesting that American race relations law and scholarship incorporate an implicit blackwhite binary paradigm of race that largely excludes nonblack groups such as Latinos After discussing a number of examples and arguments pro and con they conclude that our law does incorporate such a binary paradigm and that it dims the chances of nonblack groups such as Latinos
