种族微歧视隐性伤害大(27个例子)

侨报最新报道:目前一份研究报告显示,美亚裔在生活中频繁遭遇种族微歧视(Racial Microaggressions)。这种歧视行为的表现形式微妙,却给亚裔带来巨大的心理困扰。

据Medical Xpress网站报道,康奈尔大学(Cornell Univerisity)人类生态学院人类发展学副教授安东尼·王(Anthony Ong,音译)表示:“种族微歧视现象非常普遍。类似一些平淡的言语,比如询问亚裔的出生地或夸奖亚裔英语流利,都会给亚裔带来负面影响,暗示亚裔不是真正的美国人。”

152名大学一年级亚裔学生利用两周时间参与了此项研究,这些亚裔学生被要求记录其生活、情绪及身体情况。参与者的记录中,记录了20件在生活中遭遇的种族微歧视事件。

研究发现,两周时间中,将近78%的参与者遭遇微歧视。随着遭遇微歧视事件的增多,参与者会产生更多的负面情绪及生理不适,譬如头疼、胃疼以及喉咙疼等现象。

对个体而言,种族微歧视与随之而来的负面情绪、生理反应息息相关,这意味着亚裔每天经历的微歧视很大程度上影响了亚裔的长期健康与生活幸福感。

此项研究结果对心理健康研究领域意义重大。参与该研究的康奈尔大学人类发展学助理教授安东尼·波罗(Anthony Burrow)称,“心理咨询师应明白,种族微歧视产生的负面影响不会立即显现,而可能在随后的日子影响亚裔的健康。这种现象导致心理咨询师难以寻找亚裔心理问题的根源。”

同时,安东尼·王表示: “无意的微歧视与亚裔‘模范族裔’的社会认知可能成为亚裔寻求心理咨询服务的主要障碍,也导致已寻求心理咨询服务的亚裔提前终止心理治疗。”

另外,研究提出,种族失效(如被当作外国人或无意间听到种族性别刻板印象的言语)比种族微侮辱(如基于种族的侮辱性笑话或讨论亚裔的口音)给亚裔带来更大更普遍的伤害。 (王青编译)
