“…In the case of Vietnamese, French intervention in Vietnam began in the 1700s with French missionaries opening schools and was formalized by Napoleon’s invasion in 1857. France occupied Vietnam until 1954, when Japan took control (Nguyen-Marshall, 2008). Vietnam was thus especially subject to associations among superiority, colonialism, and European features.…”

Vietnamese immigrants and their children are the fourth-largest Asian group in the United States. These immigrants have a complex and diverse history with war, colonization, resettlement, and displacement, and second-generation Vietnamese are the largest refugee generation to experience "growing up" in American society. This study analyzes and disentangles how internalized racial oppression (IRO) manifests for these second-generation Vietnamese. IRO is an understudied topic in the literature, but increasing globalization and shifting demographics in the United States make it an increasingly relevant and timely subject of analysis because of the significant implications for identity and self-esteem. Data in this study consist of 87 in-depth qualitative interviews with second-generation Vietnamese living in Southern California. The results are analyzed using a phenomenological approach and organized into three domains: (a) work experiences, (b) intraethnic and interethnic racism, and (c) dismantling IRO through community organizations. The findings point to the significance of context and place, and the need for intersectional analyses. In White-dominated workplaces, second-generation Vietnamese are often subject to the "bamboo ceiling" and whitewashing. In the context of highly dense Asian populations, the second-generation Vietnamese experience unique interethnic racism, including markers like socioeconomic stress and refugee status. The results suggest that community organizing and ethnic organizations are facilitators that can dismantle IRO.What is the public significance of this article? Internalized racial oppression (IRO) of Asian Americans is under-studied, and psychologists believe that it varies by ethnic group. The present study suggests that internalized racism is a fluid process and that participation in ethnic organizations provides a helpful counterspace to share stories of oppression. This study finds that there are unique elements of IRO depending on context, refugee status, and the racial makeup of workplaces and communities.
