This study analyzes five publicly posted videos wherein Asians experience interpersonal discrimination because of COVID-19. We think social scientists ignore how videos provide data for investigating interpersonal discrimination. We characterize the videos according to multiple features including context, characteristics, and responses of individuals involved, type of threat or mistreatment, and level of psychological and physical harm. We then summarize features across the videos. Among other things, analyses uncover implicit, explicit, and historically specific anti-Asian sentiment alongside evidence perpetrators are men and bystanders do not intervene typically. The Discussion contrasts Asians' experiences of interpersonal discrimination because of COVID-19 against the interpersonal and institutional discrimination faced by American Indians, blacks, and Hispanics in the United States. That contrast brings Asians' positionality into sharp relief.
本研究分析了五个公开的视频,其中亚洲人因新冠疫情遭受人际歧视。我们认为社会科学家忽视了视频如何为调查人际歧视提供数据。我们根据多个特征对视频进行描述,包括背景、相关个人的特征和反应、威胁或虐待的类型以及心理和身体伤害的程度。然后我们总结视频中的特征。分析发现,除其他外,存在隐性、显性和特定历史时期的反亚情绪,同时有证据表明实施者为男性,旁观者通常不干预。讨论部分将亚洲人因新冠疫情遭受的人际歧视经历与美国印第安人、黑人和西班牙裔在美国所面临的人际和制度歧视进行了对比。这种对比使亚洲人的地位凸显出来。
