The author takes up the challenge from social psychologists to explore the coping responses of those who experience racism. Previous attempts to provide taxonomies of responses to racism-discrimination-oppression are reviewed. An analysis of data derived from semistructured interviews conducted with 34 Indigenous Australians that explored experiences of racism and emotional and behavioral responses is reported, and a taxonomy of coping made up of 3 broad categories is presented. The defining feature of these categories is the purpose of the responses contained therein: to defend the self, to control or contain the reaction, or to confront the racism. It is argued that this may be a more useful way to understand responses to racism than taxonomies previously proposed.
作者接受了社会心理学家的挑战，去探索那些经历种族主义的人的应对反应。回顾了以往提供针对种族主义、歧视和压迫的应对分类法的尝试。报告了一项对34名澳大利亚原住民进行半结构化访谈所得数据的分析，该访谈探讨了种族主义经历以及情绪和行为反应，并提出了一个由三大类组成的应对分类法。这些类别的决定性特征是其中所包含反应的目的：捍卫自我、控制或抑制反应，或对抗种族主义。有人认为，与先前提出的分类法相比，这可能是理解对种族主义反应的更有用方式。
