Attributing Harm to Racist Speech
|
|
Laura Leets, Howard Giles and Kimberly Noels
|
|
This study extends previous research to examine the perceptions of harm resulting from racist speech. Using moderately intense messages, it explores these perceptions between Asian American and Caucasian
ethnic groups. There is some evidence to suggest that the ethnic-group membership of the speaker will affect the perception of harm. We also note a theoretically based methodological concern regarding the
manipulation of message explicitness.
