Here are some publications and commentaries on the topic:
Asian Americans’ emerging racial identities and reactions to racial tensions in the United States
From the abstract: Asian Americans hold a complex racial position in the U.S. They have been considered “honorary Whites,” unaffected by racial discrimination while simultaneously viewed as perpetual foreigners in their homeland. This study was conducted in the context of a historic uprising against racism and police brutality. In this time of increased racial tension, Asian American emerging adults faced discrimination and stereotyping due to misconceptions about Asians. Participants demonstrated active engagement in racial meaning making and found solidarity in relationships with other racial minorities.
Race was something we didn’t talk about: Racial socialization in Asian American families
Excerpt from the conclusion: “Since the time that this study was conducted, the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted underlying racist attitudes about Asian Americans, with a high incidence rate of verbal harassment and physical assaults toward Asian Americans during the initial months of the pandemic (Asian Pacific Policy & Planning Council, 2020). Even as we keep anti-Asian sentiment in mind, it is the responsibility of Asian Americans to address the role that this community has played a role in perpetuating anti-Blackness. The invisibility of Asian Americans is due in part to broader exclusions but is also partially due to Asian Americans being unwilling to partake in difficult conversations. Asian American families’ lived experiences of the model minority myth and the perpetual foreigner stereotype have systemic impacts across generations but have not previously been well studied in families.”
The invisibility of Asian Americans in COVID-19 data, reporting, and relief
“Without proper recognition of the dual pandemics of COVID-19 and racism that Asian Americans and other racial minorities in the United States are facing, we cannot successfully address structural barriers to healthcare.”
