“黑人天才，亚洲人失败”：刻板印象提升和刻板印象威胁对成绩优异的亚洲和黑人 STEM 学生的损害

亚洲人通常位于STEM教育和职业层次的顶端，因此享受着大量的物质利益。因此，他们的STEM生活通常被认为是没有问题的。本文描述了基于种族的刻板印象在塑造高成就的黑人和亚洲STEM大学生的经历中的作用。他们的经历暴露了反黑人和亲亚裔情绪的阴险存在，这种情绪通过陈规定型观念威胁和陈规定型观念解除的框架得以运作。刻板印象威胁和刻板印象提升将黑人和亚洲学生的种族化经历视为对立，从而忽视了他们共同的边缘化和对刻板印象的反应。我认为，这两个种族群体忍受情绪困扰，因为每个群体回应其边缘化与无情的动机，成功施加重大成本。我的目的是证明，黑人和亚洲大学生背负着被定型和不公平的判断，忍受有时削弱的后果，即使他们被赞扬履行或蔑视刻板印象。讨论包括在STEM中建立有色人种之间的联盟，部分用于共同构建种族化的心理社会应对技能，以及为黑人STEM提供更公平的物质成果的战略。
Asians are typically situated at the top of the STEM educational and career hierarchy and enjoy a host of material benefits as a result. Thus, their STEM lives are often considered problem-free. This article describes the role of race-based stereotypes in shaping the experiences of high-achieving Black and Asian STEM college students. Their experiences exposed the insidious presence of anti-Black and pro-Asian sentiment, operationalized through the frameworks of stereotype threat and stereotype lift. Stereotype threat and stereotype lift situate the racialized experiences of Black and Asian students as opposites, thereby ignoring their shared marginalization and responses to being stereotyped. I argue that both racial groups endure emotional distress because each group responds to its marginalization with an unrelenting motivation to succeed that imposes significant costs. I aim to demonstrate that Black and Asian college students are burdened with being stereotyped and judged unfairly, enduring sometimes debilitating consequences even while they are praised for fulfilling or defying stereotypes. Discussion includes coalition building among racial groups of color in STEM, serving in part to co-construct racialized psycho-social coping skills, and a strategy for more equitable material outcomes for Black STEMers.
