Description
Our study explored implicit and explicit colorism in Christian, East Asian American college students and examined correlating factors, such as racial colorblindness ideology and religious views of social justice. We predicted that participants would show an implicit bias in favor of lighter skin tone and would be correlated to previously mentioned factors. Our results indicated significant implicit bias in favor of lighter skin. Other variables were shown to correlate with implicit bias. The current study has proposed fascinating implications for Asian Americans, especially in religious contexts.
