The current study examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on perceived everyday discrimination and internalized racism among Asians compared to Latinxs. Recently, researchers have attempted to tackle institutional and interpersonal racism during this pandemic outbreak, however, few studies have addressed the internalized component of the racism. We launched this survey study during the critical months of the national pandemic lockdown (April 2020 to April 2021) with a sample (N = 360) of 170 Asians and 190 Latinxs college students self-reporting their experiences related to everyday discrimination and internalized racism. Findings indicated that Asians experienced more internalized racism and perceived a change in everyday discrimination during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to Latinxs. Furthermore, the perceived everyday discrimination during the COVID-19 pandemic emerged as a mediator for the race effect on internalized racism. That is, Asians perceived a significant change in everyday discrimination frequency during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to Latinxs and this change was related to higher levels of internalized racism. According to our findings, Asians perceived more daily discriminatory and inferiorizing messages, compared to Latinxs, which also explained the reasons for higher levels of internalized racism during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our findings suggest that Asians might be rationalizing their encounters with discrimination and even believing their communities deserve these daily attacks during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak
