Description
Limited research has examined how people of color view Jesus’ race. Thus, we investigated the relationship between Jesus’ race and implicit bias when viewing images of Jesus in a Christian Asian American student sample. We hypothesized that participants would more quickly and easily link White Jesus with positive words and non-White Jesus with negative words (i.e., implicit bias). This was true, especially for participants who explicitly endorsed Jesus as a White person. Additionally, we predicted that racial colorblindness, ethnic identity, and internalized model minority stereotype would correlate with implicit bias; however, this was only true for racial colorblindness.
