The Internet has become a ubiquitous central element in the lives of adolescents. In this conceptual paper, we focus on digital white racial socialization (D-WRS), arguing: (1) for an expanded conceptualization of WRS as doings, and (2) that social media may be changing processes of WRS through an extension of traditional settings and through the creation of unique social contexts. We highlight the uniqueness of social media contexts due to the designed normalization of whiteness, weak-tie racism, social media affordances, and racialized pedagogical zones allowing adolescents to practice doing race. We introduce a conceptual framework for D-WRS and end with an expressed need for conceptually guided research on the multidimensional relationship between social media and WRS processes.
互联网已成为青少年生活中无处不在的核心元素。在这篇概念性论文中，我们聚焦于数字白人种族社会化（D-WRS），并提出以下观点：（1）将白人种族社会化扩展为行为的概念化；（2）社交媒体可能通过扩展传统环境以及创造独特的社会背景来改变白人种族社会化的过程。我们强调社交媒体环境的独特性，这源于白人的设计常态化、弱联系种族主义、社交媒体的特性以及种族化的教学区域，这些使得青少年能够实践种族行为。我们引入了一个关于D-WRS的概念框架，并最后明确表达了对社交媒体与白人种族社会化过程之间多维关系进行概念性指导研究的需求。
