In collaboration with Brian Wu.
Folks disagree about the relative position of Asian individuals in the ethnoracial landscape of the United States. As a result of this ambiguity, Asian individuals are simultaneously framed in public discourse as being the victims of racism or the perpetrators of racism. The consequences of these framings for ethnoracial identification are not well understood. Hye Jee Kim and Brian Wu collaborate to understand the nuances of these consequences. We examine how priming Asian respondents to see Asian individuals are perpetrators or victims of racism influences Asian identity salience, as well as identification with a host of other ethnoracial categories (e.g., People of Color, American, etc).
