This study explores the effect of Donald Trump's candidacy, and first year in office, on Asian-American linked fate. We argue that the use of anti-Asian and anti-immigrant messaging during the 2016 election, and the enactment of discriminatory policies once elected, increased feelings of panethnic linked fate among Asian Americans.
To test our hypotheses, we assess Asian Americans' levels of linked fate before the 2016 election, immediately after the 2016 election, and one year after the 2016 election with several time-series surveys.
We find that Asian-American linked fate is higher after the election and remains high one year later. Qualitative data collected through open-ended survey responses suggest that the increase in panethnic linked fate can be at least partially attributed to Trump's discriminatory rhetoric.
The results have implications for Asian-American political behavior, particularly mobilization, by invoking collective action through panethnic linked fate.
本研究探讨唐纳德·特朗普参选及上任第一年对亚裔美国人共同命运的影响。我们认为，在2016年大选期间使用反亚裔和反移民的言论，以及当选后颁布歧视性政策，增强了亚裔美国人之间的泛族裔共同命运感。
为检验我们的假设，我们通过多次时间序列调查评估了2016年大选前、2016年大选刚结束后以及2016年大选一年后的亚裔美国人的共同命运水平。
我们发现，大选后亚裔美国人的共同命运感更高，且一年后仍保持在较高水平。通过开放式调查回复收集的定性数据表明，泛族裔共同命运感的增强至少部分可归因于特朗普的歧视性言论。
这些结果对亚裔美国人的政治行为，尤其是动员方面，具有启示意义，即通过泛族裔共同命运引发集体行动。
