Asian Americans are situated in a triangulated role in a black-white racial hierarchy designed to legitimize white supremacy (Kim, 1999). However, little is known about the lived experiences of Asian American triangulation and even less so in the context of anti-Asian racism. The present study was initially designed to examine anti-Asian racism at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, in a sociopolitical climate described as a "racial reckoning," our study evolved to capture the process of racial triangulation and the interplay of anti-Asian racism and antiblackness. Based on the online responses of 201 Asian Americans (from over 32 U.S. states), four themes emerged to showcase the ways in which Asian Americans suffered from and recapitulated racial oppression: (a) anti-Asian racism is overlooked in the black-white racial discourse, (b) anti-Asian racism is not taken seriously, (c) anti-Asian racism is also perpetrated by people of color (POC), and (d) anti-Asian racism is deprioritized in the presence of anti-Black racism. Regarding participant recommendations to combat anti-Asian racism, our second research question focused on areas of convergence with dismantling anti-Black racism. Two key themes emerged: (a) foster Asian American pan-ethnic solidarity and (b) build and strengthen cross-racial coalitions (POC solidarity and White allyship). Altogether, our study descriptively captured the process of racial triangulation to showcase the manifestation and recapitulation of anti-Asian racism and antiblackness. While Asian Americans suffered as victims and perpetrators of racial oppression, they also recognized the need to dismantle white supremacy with racial solidarity, coalition-building, and advocacy.

亚裔美国人在一个旨在使白人至上合法化的黑-白种族等级制度中处于一种三角关系（Kim，1999）。然而，人们对亚裔美国人的三角关系的生活经历知之甚少，甚至在反亚裔种族主义的背景下更是如此。本研究最初旨在检查 COVID-19 大流行开始时的反亚裔种族主义。然而，在一个被描述为“种族清算”的社会政治氛围中，我们的研究发展为捕捉种族三角关系的过程以及反亚裔种族主义和反黑人种族主义的相互作用。基于 201 名亚裔美国人（来自美国 32 个州以上）的在线回复，出现了四个主题，展示了亚裔美国人遭受和重复种族压迫的方式：(a) 反亚裔种族主义在黑-白种族话语中被忽视，(b) 反亚裔种族主义不被认真对待，(c) 反亚裔种族主义也由有色人种（POC）实施，(d) 反亚裔种族主义在反黑人种族主义存在时被优先考虑。关于参与者对抗反亚裔种族主义的建议，我们的第二个研究问题侧重于与消除反黑人种族主义相契合的领域。出现了两个关键主题：(a) 培养亚裔美国人的泛族裔团结，(b) 建立和加强跨种族联盟（POC 团结和白人盟友关系）。总的来说，我们的研究描述性地捕捉了种族三角关系的过程，展示了反亚裔种族主义和反黑人种族主义的表现和重复。虽然亚裔美国人作为种族压迫的受害者和施害者而受苦，但他们也认识到需要通过种族团结、建立联盟和倡导来消除白人至上主义。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
