什么是隐形亚裔偏见("Implicit Americanness Bias")?有这种偏见的人并不一定会公开说歧视亚裔的言论,但他们心里认为美国亚裔并不是纯正的美国人("Asian Americans are less American"),觉得美国亚裔永远是外国人("the perpetual foreigner stereotype")。持有这种隐形亚裔偏见的人在2007-2020期间,总体在下降,直到2020年3月

Trump政府2020年3月期间频繁实用"Chinese Virus"这个概念,导致社交媒体这个概念开始流行("“on March 8 there was a 650% increase in Twitter retweets using the term “Chinese virus” and related terms.”)。加州伯克利大学Eli K. Michaels团队通过数据比照分析发现,3月份之后,因为这个概念的流行,持有隐形亚裔偏见的人数量剧增,增加数量抵消了前面几年的下降数("we found that after March 8, Implicit Americanness Bias grew enough to offset more than 3 years of prior declines")

"Local polynomial regression and interrupted time-series analyses revealed that Implicit Americanness Bias—or the subconscious belief that European American individuals are more “American” than Asian American individuals—declined steadily from 2007 through early 2020 but reversed trend and began to increase on March 8, following the increase in stigmatizing language in conservative media outlets.
