“…Racism-related stress is multidimensional and differs from other forms of stress. It includes: [1] racism-related life events (i.e., salient racist acts that an individual has experienced), [2] racism microaggressions (i.e., insidious racist acts that occur on a more frequent basis), [3] vicarious racism (i.e., the observation of racist events impacting members of one's racialized group; e.g., a Black child observing police brutality against a Black adult), [4] collective experiences of racism (i.e., knowledge of racist events that happened to members of one's racialized group; e.g., Japanese internment camps in the US), [5] intergenerational trauma (i.e., emotional and behavioral responses to a traumatic event among the descendants of an individual who experienced the event), [6] social role demands and the need to adapt to White or dominant group society, and [7] structural/institutional racism's impact on living conditions, access to resources, and opportunities 66 . Finally, unlike other forms of stress, the impact of racism-related stress occurs across the lifespan.…”
