Shared Status, Shared Politics? Evaluating a New Pathway to Black Solidarity with Other People of Color
Research suggests that solidarity between people of color (PoC) is triggered when a marginalized ingroup believes they are discriminated similarly to another outgroup. This evidence has primarily focused on Asian Americans, Latinos, and Middle Eastern people, who are systematically discriminated against as foreigners. Yet evidence remains absent on Black people, who are systematically discriminated against as inferior, but not as foreign. Using a…
Taking Stock of Solidarity between People of Color
Recent work suggests that solidarity between people of color (PoC) is triggered when a minoritized ingroup believes they are discriminated similarly to another outgroup based on their alleged foreignness or inferiority. Heightened solidarity then boosts support for policies that benefit minoritized outgroups who are not one's own. Available experiments on this pathway vary by participants (e.g., Asian, Black, Middle Eastern, and Latino adults), m…
Bridging the Gaps Between Us
People of color (PoC) will soon become a demographic majority in the U.S., but this overlooks major differences in how various PoC are treated by American society and the political priorities they hold. We build a theory that explainswhenandwhysome PoC express more unified political views. Despite variation in their social positions, people of color share common sources of marginalization. For example, although Asian Americans are stereotyped as …
Prejudiced When Climbing Up or When Falling Down? Why Some People of Color Express Anti-Black Racism
We contend that some people of color express anti-Black prejudice to cope with their own marginalization. Individuals stationed along an in-group's periphery are often motivated to exclude others to bolster their own belonging in a community. Yet this process is sometimes triggered when individuals feel they are losing their marginal position. We examine these dynamics in the context of Latino prejudice toward Black individuals, withAmericanas th…
Diversity management from a target’s perspective
Political elites have formulated multiculturalism and colorblindness to manage intergroup relations in diverse polities. Multiculturalism celebrates intergroup differences, while colorblindness emphasizes intergroup commonalities. Prior research finds varied effects for these ideologies but primarily focuses on majority groups. We report a pre-registered experiment that evaluates these ideologies among Latinos – America’s largest ethnically minor…
Does affirming Black and Latino people as American weaken racial solidarity? A surprising “no” from two pre-registered experiments
Drawing on social identity theory, we predicted that affirming Black and Latino individuals as American would undermine solidarity between people of color (PoC), who are broadly stereotyped by society as un-American. We tested this prediction in two pre-registered experiments with Black and Latino adults ( N = 1,880), where participants read about another minoritized group’s contribution to U.S. culture (i.e., Latino people: reggaetón and hip hop…
New label, different identity? Three experiments on the uniqueness of Latinx
Groups use labels to define what communities stand for. Yet sometimes multiple labels refer to the same group (e.g., Hispanic, Latino). Do different labels generate distinct political opinions? Some work suggests that assorted labels evoke substantively similar views, since the attributes that define group members are highly correlated across categories. Other work, though, implies that varied labels can alter the configuration of group attribute…
