Using structural equation modeling, we examined if experiencing racialized aggressions on social media affects the mental health of students of Color (n = 692). We also examined the relationships between these experiences and ethnic identity, campus interactions, sense of belonging, campus climate, and mental health. Findings suggest that experiencing racialized aggressions on social media is positively related to an increase in mental health issues, while sense of belonging is negatively related to mental health issues
