“…Color-blind attitudes include a denial of White privilege, denial of the prevalence and existence of blatant racial discrimination, and rejection of the need to address institutional forms of racism (Neville et al, 2000). Moreover, Yi et al (2019) found that men were higher in color-blind attitudes than women (see also, Neville et al, 2014), and in support of other studies, also found that college students of color scored significantly lower on color-blindness than their White counterparts (Neville et al, 2000, 2014). On the other hand, ambivalent sexism refers to the dual and mutual reinforcing attitudes present in sexism: hostile and benevolent sexism (Glick & Fiske, 1996).…”

To date the majority of the research on microaggressions has focused on the experiences of targets, rather than the perpetrators, of microaggresive behaviors. The present study set out to investigate 278 college students’ ( Mage = 19.12, SD = 1.34, 52.52% cisgender women, 74.82% European American) reported types of experience (a) unaware, b) aware, c) observer, d) perpetrator, and e) target) with race- and gender-based microaggressive behaviors and the association between their experiences and ambivalent sexist and color-blind racial attitudes. Participants completed an online survey composed of a modified Racial and Ethnic Microaggression Scale (REMS), a modified Female Microaggression Scale (FMS), an Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, and a Color-Blind Racial Attitudes Scale. As hypothesized, participants were more likely to have heard of or seen than to report having been the target or perpetrator of microaggressions. In support of our second hypothesis, significant gender and race differences were found in the frequencies of type of exposure to microaggressions. Finally, as expected, exposure to microaggressions was associated with color-blind and ambivalent sexist attitudes. Unexpectedly, however, complete unawareness of the existence of microaggressions was not associated with social attitudes. This study’s findings highlight the importance of unpacking social experiences of discrimination to better understand what types of experiences contribute to being critical of and reducing the commission of microaggressions.

“…Similarly, Glasford and Calcagno (2012) found that Latinx participants who read a message emphasizing Black and Latinx people's common disadvantaged identity in U.S. society reported greater willingness to engage in political action on behalf of Black people compared to Latinx participants who read a control message or a message emphasizing group differences between Latinx and Black people. In another series of studies, Yi et al (2020) found that empathy for others' experiences of social inequality was associated with propensity for individual and collective action among college students who were White, Asian American, or other "underrepresented racial groups.

The present study advanced prior research by examining key correlates of Asian American people's intragroup and intergroup collective action. Building on prior research, this study tested a model of the unique relations of experiences of discrimination, model minority beliefs, intragroup solidarity, and intergroup solidarity with other people of color as correlates of Asian American people's intragroup and intergroup collective action. Single-indicator latent variable path analysis explained 59% and 44% of the variance in intergroup collective action and intragroup collective action, respectively. Experiences of discrimination had a significant unique positive link with both intragroup collective action and intergroup collective action. Model minority achievement orientation beliefs had a significant unique negative link with both intragroup collective action and intergroup collective action. Model minority unrestricted mobility beliefs did not have a significant unique link with either intragroup collective action or intergroup collective action. Intragroup solidarity had a significant unique positive direct link with intragroup collective action, but no unique significant link with intergroup collective action. Intergroup solidarity had a significant unique positive direct link with both intergroup collective action and intragroup collective action. These findings reveal potential points of intervention to foster Asian American people's engagement in intergroup and intragroup collective action. Public Significance StatementResults of this study suggest that Asian American people's greater perceptions of discrimination, lower achievement orientation beliefs, and greater sense of intergroup solidarity with other people of color may promote intergroup collective action with other people of color. Similarly, each of these factors along with greater intragroup solidarity may promote intragroup collective action with other Asian American people.

“…This study follows this call and focuses, in particular, on the production of transformed political selves through the case of FIA. The analysis joins with recent scholarship in community psychology that has centered expositions of the white self in contexts of social action (see e.g., Todd, McConnell, et al, 2014, and Yi et al, 2020), contributing to the field a sensitivity to the concept of the racialized self.…”

Resistance, race, and subjectivity in congregation‐based community organizing

Ideas of resistance have become common in media and political discourse in contemporary times where there is growing awareness of racial violence and xenophobia. Calls to “resist” and awakenings to public life prompt questions about the kind of citizenship being cultivated, the social meanings individuals reproduce and create through participation in “resistance,” and the changing sense of their positions and agency as they act in the world. Here I examine the citizen‐subject that comes into being through “resistance” to racial injustice, drawing on the case of Faith in Action (formerly PICO) and its development of a theological organizing framework, the Theology of Resistance. This study analyzes the discourses and content of two public data sources—The Prophetic Resistance Podcast series and news media about prophetic resistance within the organizing network. These sources offer a means to examine the negotiated nature of political selves that are created through processes that socialize and subjugate as well as through processes wherein subjects produce and sometimes transform social positions. Findings show that centering a racial analytic and prioritizing racial justice outcomes, shifts that were made within FIA, results in the cultivation of a political subject that is reflexive about internal and external subjugating forces, relational as it discards the armor of racial hierarchy and exclusion, and constructive as it creates conditions or contexts for new political subjects through prophetic action. This study contributes to the conceptual development of organizing as a mechanism to generate social change; specifically, it offers the lens of political subjectivity as a meaningful analytic to enrich understandings of this mechanism.
