A new study highlights yet another way that the pandemic has ramped up discrimination against racial and ethnic minority groups — one that may be as widespread as it is difficult to detect.
In August of 2020, they sent a survey to 5,000 American adults via YouGov, a public opinion research firm. The majority of respondents were white.Half of the surveys began with a short paragraph about the state of the pandemic, followed by several questions about how COVID-19 had affected the health, employment and earnings of themselves and their families. This way, COVID-19 would be top of mind when the respondents got to the survey’s third section.
After reading the randomly selected response — all of which were identical, except for the name — participants were asked several questions about the prospective roommate’s financial stability, cultural compatibility, responsibility and courteousness. They were also asked to rate how likely they were to respond to the person and whether they were interested in living with him or her. They responded on a 0-to-10 scale, with 10 representing “extremely” and 0 representing “not at all.
The pandemic-primed group was also more likely to be very unwilling to respond to East Asian room-seekers , as well as to South Asians .Now that Comirnaty has full FDA approval, doctors can recommend the COVID-19 shot to anyone for ‘off-label’ use, including children under 12. “Additionally, the two Asian groups were more likely to be disparaged as extremely irresponsible and discourteous,” and Latinos and South Asians were more likely to be viewed as financially unstable.COVID-19-priming, however, didn’t seem to have an effect on prejudice or intent to discriminate against white or Black room-seekers, the authors found. The authors had a possible explanation as to why.
