How different racial minorities experience racism differently remains underexplored in existing research. Here, we show that Asian and Black people are often dehumanized differently. Twelve studies spotlight a racial asymmetry in dehumanization using a wide array of methods (experimental, archival, and computational) and data sources (online samples, word embeddings, and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data): Whereas Black people are more often subjected to animalistic dehumanization, Asian people are predominantly subjected to mechanistic dehumanization. We demonstrate this asymmetry from the vantage point of victims (Studies 1a and 1b) and perpetrators (Studies 2a-2d). We further document the prevalence of this asymmetry across diverse domains, from everyday language (Study 3) to perceptions in the realms of romantic relationships (Study 4a), crime rates (Study 4b), and business skills (Study 4c). Finally, we demonstrate the asymmetry's real-world consequences in labor market segregation (Studies 5 and 6). Our findings shed light on the distinct experiences of racism encountered by different racial groups and, more critically, introduce a framework that unifies and integrates scattered empirical observations on perceptions of Asian people.

亚洲人 = 机器，黑人 = 动物？非人化的种族不对称性。


在现有研究中，不同的少数种族如何以不同的方式体验种族主义仍未得到充分探索。在这里，我们展示了亚裔和黑人经常以不同的方式被非人化。12 项研究使用各种方法（实验、存档和计算）和数据源（在线样本、单词嵌入和美国劳工统计局数据）突出了非人化中的种族不对称性：黑人更经常遭受动物性的非人化，而亚洲人主要受到机械性的非人化。我们从受害者（研究 1a 和 1b）和肇事者（研究 2a-2d）的有利位置证明了这种不对称性。我们进一步记录了这种不对称在不同领域的普遍性，从日常语言（研究 3）到浪漫关系领域的感知（研究 4a）、犯罪率（研究 4b）和商业技能（研究 4c）。最后，我们证明了不对称性在劳动力市场隔离中的现实后果（研究 5 和 6）。我们的研究结果揭示了不同种族群体遇到的不同种族主义经历，更关键的是，它引入了一个框架，统一和整合了对亚洲人看法的分散实证观察。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 （c） 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
