Ethnoracial Identity Development and Colorblindness among Southeast Asian American Students at an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI) and Non-AANAPISI
Race, Ethnicity and Education, v27 n6 p896-912 2024
This study examines how Southeast Asian American students develop their ethnoracial identities at an Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI) and a non-AANAPISI, and if there are differences between the two institutions. Drawing on interviews with 26 Southeast Asian American undergraduate students, I find that students use three outlets at both institutions to further develop their ethnoracial identities: (1) Asian American Studies or related courses, (2) ethnoracial student organizations, and (3) ethnoracial events. However, these outlets provided students with a different type of ethnoracial identity development -- political ethnoracial identity or social ethnoracial identity. Those that did not participate in these outlets had a colorblind ethnoracial identity as they still acknowledged their ethnoracial identities but did not view race or racism as relevant. The AANAPISI designation did not matter in the parameters of this study, as there were no differences for students at both institutions.
