Abstract

ABSTRACT Asian Americans have a history of discrimination and othering in the US. In October 2016, journalist Michael Luo put out a call for Asian Americans to tweet racist encounters using the hashtag, #thisis2016. The aim of this study was to examine the encounters shared by Asian Americans. Tweets between October 2016 and December 2017 were obtained via Twitter. The tweets were scoped down to 3,156 tweets to include those that appeared to answer the original call. A phenomenological approach was the overall framework with thematic content analysis applied to analyze the data. Tweets were categorized by type of racist encounter. The racist encounters included: microaggressions, denial of intra-ethnic differences, seen as other, verbal harassment, validation of anti-Asian racism, prejudice, verbal violence/attack, and model minority. Understanding the unique experiences of Asian American individuals, families, and communities helps to target policies, social services, and programming that takes these factors into account.

亚裔美国人遭遇种族主义的经历:对#thisis2016的分析

亚裔美国人在美国有着被歧视和被歧视的历史。2016年10月，记者迈克尔·罗(Michael Luo)呼吁亚裔美国人使用#thisis2016标签在推特上发表种族主义遭遇。这项研究的目的是研究亚裔美国人所共有的遭遇。2016年10月至2017年12月的推文是通过推特获得的。这些推文被缩小到3156条，其中包括那些似乎回应了最初的呼吁的推文。现象学方法是总体框架，并应用主题内容分析来分析数据。推文按种族主义遭遇的类型分类。种族主义遭遇包括:微侵犯、否认种族内部差异、被视为他人、言语骚扰、确认反亚洲种族主义、偏见、言语暴力/攻击和模范少数民族。了解亚裔美国人个人、家庭和社区的独特经历，有助于制定考虑到这些因素的政策、社会服务和规划。
