Abstract

ABSTRACT How do voters evaluate descriptive representatives who vary in prototypicality? Specifically, how do Indian American voters evaluate Black women candidates who are also Indian American, or Indian American women candidates who are also Black? Using the case of Kamala Harris, we present findings from an original survey experiment of over 1,000 Indian Americans collected just prior to the 2020 election. We examine the power of shared identity cues for Indian American voters, who represent a growing political bloc of Asian American voters. We find that relative to being framed as Indian alone, Indian American respondents are less likely to support the Biden-Harris ticket when Harris is framed as Black and Indian American. This is true for Indian Americans who believe that Indian Americans have something in common. This study extends our knowledge of Black women in politics, Indian American politics, Asian American politics, and voter evaluations of mixed-race descriptive representatives.

黑人和德西：印度裔美国人对卡玛拉·哈里斯的看法

摘要选民如何评价原型不同的描述性代表？具体来说，印度裔美国人选民如何评价同样是印度裔美国人的黑人女性候选人，或者同样是黑人的印度裔美国人女性候选人？以卡玛拉·哈里斯为例，我们展示了2020年大选前对1000多名印度裔美国人进行的原始调查实验的结果。我们研究了印度裔美国人选民的共同身份线索的力量，他们代表着越来越多的亚裔美国人选民。我们发现，当哈里斯被诬陷为黑人和印度裔美国人时，印度裔美国人受访者不太可能支持拜登-哈里斯的竞选。对于那些认为印度裔美国人有共同点的印度裔美国人来说，这是真的。这项研究扩展了我们对黑人女性在政治、印度裔美国人政治、亚裔美国人政治以及对混血描述性代表的选民评估方面的知识。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Women, Politics & Policy explores women and their roles in the political process as well as key policy issues that impact women''s lives. Articles cover a range of tops about political processes from voters to leaders in interest groups and political parties, and office holders in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government (including the increasingly relevant international bodies such as the European Union and World Trade Organization). They also examine the impact of public policies on women''s lives in areas such as tax and budget issues, poverty reduction and income security, education and employment, care giving, and health and human rights — including violence, safety, and reproductive rights — among many others. This multidisciplinary, international journal presents the work of social scientists — including political scientists, sociologists, economists, and public policy specialists — who study the world through a gendered lens and uncover how gender functions in the political and policy arenas. Throughout, the journal places a special emphasis on the intersection of gender, race/ethnicity, class, and other dimensions of women''s experiences.
