Cabrera, Joseph F., and Rachael R. Dela Cruz. "Spatially Based Rules for Reducing Multiple–Race into Single–Race Data." City & Community 19, no. 3 (September 2020): 593–616. http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/cico.12418.
Full textAbstract:
There is a discord between the categorization of mixed–race data in spatial studies, which has become more complex as the mixed–race population increases. We offer an efficient, spatially based method for assigning mixed–race respondents into single–race categories. The present study examined diversity within 25 Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the United States to develop this racial bridging method. We identify prescriptions for each two–race category based on average diversity experiences and similarity scores derived from census tract data. The results show the following category assignments: (1) Black–Asians to Black, (2) White–others to White, (3) Asian–others to Asian, (4) White–Blacks to other, (5) White–Asians to White (if Asian >3.0 percent), (6) White–Asians to Asian (if Asian <3.0 percent), (7) Black–Asians to other (if Black >8.5 percent), and (8) Black–Asians to Black (if Black <8.5 percent). We argue that the proposed method is appropriate for all race–based studies using spatially relevant theoretical constructs such as segregation and gentrification.

This study investigated the own-race bias in British school children using an eyewitness paradigm. Some 319 participants viewed films of two similar staged thefts, one that depicted a Caucasian culprit and the other an Asian culprit, and then after a delay of 2–3 days, viewed a line-up for each culprit. One hundred and seventy-six of the participants were Caucasian and 143 were Asian. There were also two age groups: 164 were aged 7–9 years and 152 were 12–14 years. There was a significant own-race bias for Caucasian participants from both age groups that resulted in more correct identifications for the own-race culprit from target present line-ups and more false identifications for the target absent line-ups. Asian participants from both age groups showed no own-race bias and performed equally accurately for culprits of both races. Measures of inter-racial contact were associated with correct responses for other-race targets and revealed that the majority of Caucasian participants in the current sample had very little contact with Asians, whereas the majority of Asian participants had high levels of contact with Caucasians.

158 Background: Gastric adenocarcinoma is a major health issue, with a high prevalence among Asian and Pacific Islander populations. We analyzed a hospital tumor registry and demonstrated that in a multiracial population, patients who were uninsured and Filipinos with resectable disease had worse outcomes. To further investigate these findings, we performed a comprehensive analysis of the National Cancer Database. Methods: We analyzed data from 183,204 patients with gastric or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma diagnosed between 2004 and 2015. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models for survival were built adjusting for race, age at diagnosis, sex, insurance status, comorbidities, treatment facility type, histologic grade, stage, and treatment. Results: We included 86,663 patients in our analysis. Pacific Islanders presented at a younger age and higher stage. Asians had fewer comorbidities and were diagnosed at earlier stages. Older age (HR 1.97, 95% CI 1.92-2.03), lower income (HR 1.13, 1.11-1.16), more comorbidities (HR 1.59, 1.51-1.67), treatment at a community center (HR 1.22, 1.20-1.24), higher tumor grade (HR 2.00, 1.92-2.08), and advanced stage (HR 5.71, 5.57-5.85) were poor prognostic factors. Compared to whites, Asians had a more favorable prognosis (HR 0.74, 0.71-0.76). However, Filipino race was adversely associated with survival compared to other Asian races (HR 1.48, 1.29-1.69), even after adjusting for other prognostic factors. Conclusions: Asian race is an independent favorable prognostic factor. Among Asians, Filipinos did not fare as well even after adjusting for income, insurance status, comorbidities, stage and other prognostic factors. Further study in this area should be pursued. Given the differences in survival within the Asian race, studies exploring the relationship between race and cancer should consider analysis by subgroup.

Full textAbstract:
We propose that Multiracials have flexible racial in-groups in that Multiracials can potentially consider members from three target racial groups as in-group members: same-race Multiracials, racial component Monoracials, and different-race Multiracials. Across three studies, we find that Black/Whites and Asian/Whites consider racial component Minorities (i.e., Blacks or Asians) and different-race Multiracials who share their Minority identity (i.e., Black/Asians) as in-group members in addition to, but to a lesser extent than, same-race Multiracials (i.e., Black/Whites or Asian/Whites). Moreover, participants who reported frequently encountering discrimination related to their Black or Asian backgrounds were more likely to consider individuals who share their Minority background as in-group members. Implications for Multiracials’ psychological well-being and the broader intergroup literature are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is an optic neuropathy characterized by irreversible retinal ganglion cell damage and visual field loss. The global POAG prevalence is estimated to be 3.05%, and near term is expected to significantly rise, especially within aging Asian populations. Primary angle-closure glaucoma disproportionately affects Asians, with up to four times greater prevalence of normal-tension glaucoma reported compared with high-tension glaucoma. Estimates for overall POAG prevalence in Asian populations vary, with Chinese and Indian populations representing the majority of future cases. Structural characteristics associated with glaucoma progression including the optic nerve head, retina, and cornea are distinct in Asians, serving as intermediates between African and European descent populations. Patterns in IOP suggest some similarities between races, with a significant inverse relationship between age and IOP only in Asian populations. Genetic differences have been suggested to play a role in these differences, however, a clear genetic pattern is yet to be established. POAG pathogenesis differs between Asians and other ethnicities, and it may differ within the broad classification of the Asian race. Greater awareness and further research are needed to improve treatment plans and outcomes for the increasingly high prevalence of normal tension glaucoma within aging Asian populations.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the history of Asian migration and exclusion in the Americas by focusing on the intersections of national histories, transnational migration, and the globality of race. Beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, a transnational conversation about race, migration, and national security circulated throughout North and South America. The subject was the global migration of Asians and the alleged threat they posed. By examining the circularity of Asian migration within the Americas as well as the transnational nature of anti-Asian racism, this article seeks to revise our understandings of transnationalism and contribute to the larger global history of race.

Full textAbstract:
If what characterizes Asian American radical politics in 2020 is an articulation of the difference between, and interrelatedness of, the Asian diasporic elite and the migrant poor, the 2018 Asian American films Crazy Rich Asians and Searching achieved mainstream success by celebrating the emergence of the former. The media paratexts of Crazy Rich Asians used race-consciousness as putative resistance, engendering “messianic visibility”—an over-investment in cinematic identification as possessing transformative, even curative, political and personal potential for liberal cisheteronormativity. Meanwhile, Searching's marketing as a film not about race was a significant talking point in the U.S. press. Its colormuteness functioned to normalize the entanglement of Asian diasporic elites in the ranks of Silicon Valley's digital empire. The films’ lack of friction in relation to surveillance capitalism and neoliberal empire ultimately highlights the contradictions of race and/as resistance in the present moment.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article asks how the category of “mixed race” can help us think through the recent spate of violence against Asian Americans, culminating in the Atlanta mass shootings of March 2021. It further reflects on a tension within mixed-race studies: whereas mixed-race theory, in its embrace of anti-essentialism and hybridity, bespeaks a certain hope and optimism, mixed race as a lens through which to view history brings us inescapably to violence. Tracing how the concept of mixed race threads through a history of violence in this country, the article demonstrates how misogyny and racial hatred toward Asians have long been intertwined. Recent anti-Asian hate crimes surface the continuities in the targeting of Asians as a source of pollution and contagion, and in representations of Asian women as a source of sexual “temptation” that must be restricted, prohibited, or eliminated. Finally, it is argued that the turn away from the post-racialism of the Obama era and the rise of a new white nationalism call our attention to a fundamental flaw in the very premise of mixed-race theory: that is, the category of “mixed race” simultaneously unlocks the liberatory potential of nonbinary identities and reifies the problematic category of race itself.

Full textAbstract:
To learn whether the N170 would be differentially affected by orientation inversion of same- and other-race faces, we recorded event-related brain potentials (ERPs) in Caucasian and locally resident Asian subjects viewing upright and upside-down front-view photographs of African, Asian, and Caucasian faces. Results show that the time-to-peak was significantly delayed for inverted Caucasian faces in both subject groups. The same-race N170 peaked later than either other-race N170 in the Caucasian, but showed no significant difference between Caucasian and Asian faces in the Asian participants. Inversion, therefore, appears to affect the N170’s latency predominantly for faces of familiar races. This conclusion gains support from a positive correlation between the latency of the N170 evoked by both upright and inverted Caucasian faces and the amount of time that the Asian participants had lived in Europe. The N170’s race- and inversion-dependent latency increase may, thus, express an impairment of processing that emphasizes individuation of familiar-race faces, and develops during familiarization.

Journal of Clinical Oncology 39, no. 15_suppl (May 20, 2021): e20012-e20012. http://dx.doi.org/10.1200/jco.2021.39.15_suppl.e20012.
Full textAbstract:
e20012 Background: Several US studies have evaluated ethnic differences in patients with multiple myeloma (MM), but few have focused on populations other than non-Hispanic Whites and Blacks. We examined ethnic differences in a contemporary cohort of MM patients and their presenting laboratory findings in a large, insured, community-based population, including findings across Asian American subgroups. Methods: Using the Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) Cancer Registry, we identified all new cases of MM from 2010-2018 and obtained data on age, sex, race/ethnicity, Asian subgroup, and presenting hemoglobin, calcium, and estimated renal function (eGFR derived from serum creatinine) from health plan databases. Moderate to severe anemia was defined by hemoglobin <10 g/dL, hypercalcemia by calcium >11 mg/dL, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) by eGFR: stage 3 (eGFR 30-59) and stages 4-5 (eGFR <30). MM incidence was estimated using membership denominators. Results: There were 2224 new MM cases (mean age 68y, 60% male) in 2010-2018, with an annual MM incidence of 7.9-9.8/100,000. Table 1 compares presentation by race/ethnicity. Non-Whites (45%) were more likely to present at age <65 than non-Hispanic Whites (30%, p<0.01). Black (43%) and Asian (39%) adults were more likely to present with hemoglobin <10 g/dL than non-Hispanic Whites (27%, p<0.01); Black adults were more likely to present with hemoglobin <10 g/dL than Hispanic adults (31%, p=0.02). Among the primary Asian subgroups, proportions with hemoglobin <10 g/dL were 38% (East Asian), 43% (Filipino), and 45% (South Asian). Blacks were more likely to present with CKD stage 4-5 (19.5%) than other races/ethnicities (p=0.04); differences between White vs non-White or Asian vs non-Asian were not significant. In Asians, 12.7% (South Asian) and 19.0% (Filipino, East Asian) presented with CKD 4-5. Asians were least likely to present with hypercalcemia (6.7%, p=0.03), and this was similar for Asian subgroups. Conclusions: We observed ethnic differences in MM presentation in a large integrated healthcare system. Blacks were more likely to have CKD stage 4-5 and hemoglobin <10 g/dL than non-Hispanic Whites. Asians were more likely to have CKD stage 4-5 than non-Hispanic Whites but least likely to have hypercalcemia. This is one of the first studies to identify Asian subgroups and examine variation across East Asians, Filipinos, and South Asians. Analyses examining ethnic differences in survival among MM patients are in progress.[Table: see text]

Full textAbstract:
10 Background: Asian gastric cancer trials often show better outcomes than similar Western trials suggesting a possible difference in disease characteristics or biology. Large databases can be used to assess whether ethnic differences persist in the United States. Methods: The National Cancer Database was queried to examine disease characteristics, treatment utilization, and outcomes for gastric cancer from 2004-2013 for Asian vs. non-Asian patients. Patients were excluded with inadequate follow-up, unknown staging or race. Cox proportional hazards model was used to assess hazard ratio (HR) of death. Results: 101,426 patients were analyzed (6,994 Asians, 94,432 non-Asians). Asian patients were more likely to be female, younger, treated at academic centers, early stage, lower co-morbidity score, and high grade vs. non-Asian (Chi-square, all p<0.001). Asian patients were less likely to receive chemotherapy or radiation or have a positive margin. HRs of death (adjusted for age, sex, facility, histology, insurance, co-morbidity score, margin, grade, surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy) for Asian patients are shown in the table. Further dividing by most represented Asian sub-groups showed differences between countries of origin. Conclusions: Imbalances exist in clinical features and treatment utilization in Asian patients compared to non-Asians. After adjustment, Asian race is associated with higher overall survival. Adjusted sub-group analyses show survival differences by country of origin, suggesting biological variability. [Table: see text]

Objective: Insulin sensitivity affects plasma triglyceride concentration and both differ by race/ethnicity. The purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive assessment of the variation in insulin sensitivity and its relationship to hypertriglyceridaemia between five race/ethnic groups. Research design and methods: In this cross-sectional study, clinical data for 1025 healthy non-Hispanic White, Hispanic White, East Asian, South Asian and African American individuals were analysed. Insulin-mediated glucose disposal (a direct measure of peripheral insulin sensitivity) was measured using the modified insulin suppression test. Statistical analysis was performed using analysis of co-variance. Results: Of the study participants, 63% were non-Hispanic White, 9% were Hispanic White, 11% were East Asian, 11% were South Asian and 6% were African American. Overall, non-Hispanic Whites and African Americans displayed greater insulin sensitivity than East Asians and South Asians. Triglyceride concentration was positively associated with insulin resistance in all groups, including African Americans. Nevertheless, for any given level of insulin sensitivity, African Americans had the lowest triglyceride concentrations. Conclusion: Insulin sensitivity, as assessed by a direct measure of insulin-mediated glucose disposal, and its relationship to triglyceride concentration vary across five race/ethnic groups. Understanding these relationships is crucial for accurate cardiovascular risk stratification and prevention.

Full textAbstract:
Averaged face composites, which represent the central tendency of a familiar population of faces, are attractive. If this prototypicality contributes to their appeal, then averaged composites should be more attractive when their component faces come from a familiar, own-race population than when they come from a less familiar, other-race population. We compared the attractiveness of own-race composites, other-race composites, and mixed-race composites (where the component faces were from both races). In experiment 1, Caucasian participants rated own-race composites as more attractive than other-race composites, but only for male faces. However, mixed-race (Caucasian/Japanese) composites were significantly more attractive than own-race composites, particularly for the opposite sex. In experiment 2, Caucasian and Japanese participants living in Australia and Japan, respectively, selected the most attractive face from a continuum with exaggerated Caucasian characteristics at one end and exaggerated Japanese characteristics at the other, with intervening images including a Caucasian averaged composite, a mixed-race averaged composite, and a Japanese averaged composite. The most attractive face was, again, a mixed-race composite, for both Caucasian and Japanese participants. In experiment 3, Caucasian participants rated individual Eurasian faces as significantly more attractive than either Caucasian or Asian faces. Similar results were obtained with composites. Eurasian faces and composites were also rated as healthier than Caucasian or Asian faces and composites, respectively. These results suggest that signs of health may be more important than prototypicality in making average faces attractive.

Full textAbstract:
In this conceptual article, Niral Shah critically analyzes how the narrative that “Asians are good at math” positions Asian people as racial subjects. Despite being false, the “Asians are good at math” narrative is prominent in STEM education and is also familiar to the general public. To analyze the narrative's discursive impact on Asian personhood, Shah uses poststructural race theory and Mills's notion of the racial contract, focusing on the interaction between discourses of STEM and discourses of race. Rather than a harmless compliment, Shah argues that the type of mathematical success implied in the narrative dehumanizes Asian people and perpetuates White supremacy, and calls for racial equity and justice work in STEM education to account for ontological questions of personhood alongside traditional concerns about academic content learning and economic access to STEM careers.

Full textAbstract:
196 Background: Gastric adenocarcinoma continues to be a major health issue, with a high prevalence among Asian and Pacific Islander populations. We performed a comprehensive analysis to evaluate outcomes and prognostic factors in a multiracial population with a focus on Whites, Asians (Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Filipinos), and Pacific Islanders (Native Hawaiians, Samoans). Methods: We collected data from 615 consecutive patients with gastric or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma diagnosed between 2000 and 2015. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models for survival were built adjusting for race, age at diagnosis, stage, number of lymph nodes resected, histologic grade, HER2 status, systemic treatment, and insurance status for the entire study population and for those with resectable cancer. Results: Pacific Islanders presented at a younger age, higher stage, and more often were underinsured. White patients were more often diagnosed with proximal tumors. Analysis of the entire population demonstrated that older age, underinsured status, higher tumor grade, and advanced stage but not race were poor prognostic factors. Among patients with resectable cancers, the Filipino and Samoan racial sub-groups were adversely associated with survival even after adjusting for other prognostic factors. Furthermore, among Asians, Filipinos had worse outcomes compared with other Asian sub-groups. Overall, 9.5% of the 118 tumors tested for HER2 were deemed HER2(+), however the rate varied by race being as high as 43% among Samoans. Conclusions: No racial survival disparity was detected for gastric and gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma, however among resectable and potentially curable patients, Filipinos and Samoans fared worse. This could be in part due to differences in tumor biology such as HER2 expression. Further study in this area should be pursued. Within the Asian race, Filipinos demonstrated poorer survival than other sub-groups. Given the differences in survival within the Asian race, studies exploring the relationship between race and cancer should consider analysis by sub-group.

‘Intersectionality’ has been used to interrupt dominant discourse surrounding LGB experiences, and has exposed their heterogeneity. Complexities of negotiating desire within a matrix of race/ethnicity and sexuality in South and East Asian men who have sex with men (MSM) has been under-explored in Black and Minority Ethnic LGB research. Our internet survey found discordance between sexual identities and sexual practices amongst Asian MSM. Many did not access LGB physical and cyberspaces, and some experienced abuse attributed to their race/ethnicity. Feeling undesired was read as a function of racism, but racism from Asian MSM, manifesting as dispreference for certain races/ethnicities, was also found. We also explored intersections between internalised racism and homophobia which affect the lived experience of diasporic Asian MSM.

Full textAbstract:
The identity of South Asians in the United States has proved to be problematic, both for the self-identification of the group and for the identifying institutions and popular perceptions of the host society. As a result, a certain exceptionalism (commonly indexed as ambiguity) has come to attach itself to the historiography of South Asian American racial formation. This exceptionalism, in turn, has formed the ground for two competing constructions of South Asian American racial identity that wield significant influence today. One view, represented by some of the major immigrant organizations and reproduced by many middle-class immigrants, stresses ethnicity and class and denies or mitigates the historical salience of race for South Asians in the United States. This position emphasizes the anomalous status of South Asian Americans among racial minorities and embraces the rhetoric of a color-blind meritocracy. The second position, associated mainly with scholars and students in the humanities and social sciences and with some activists, treats South Asian color consciousness as equivalent to white racism and criticizes the immigrant community for denying its own blackness. These critics advocate that South Asian Americans politicize their identity, like their diasporic counterparts in Britain, by forming coalitions with other people of color. Ironically, both positions tend to construct racial identification as a choice, inadvertently reproducing the American ideology of self-making and possibility in discussing one of the social arenas where it has been least applicable.

Full textAbstract:
5165 Background: The global increased incidence of prostate cancer (CaP) is of growing concern, notably in Asia where a 118% rise has been documented. Recent publications report that Asian Americans are more likely to have advanced clinical stage, higher tumor grades, and worse survival rates compared to other racial groups. It remains unclear if these adverse outcomes are attributable to intrinsic biologic differences of CaP in Asians or socioeconomic and cultural differences. Methods: Men registered into the Center for Prostate Disease Research multi-center military national database from 1989–2007 with biopsy-proven CaP and categorized as Asian American, Caucasian, or African American descent were included. Demographic and clinical characteristics were examined. Frequencies were reported for categorical features. Measures of central tendency and dispersion were reported for continuous features. Chi-square, ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to examine association between race and clinico-pathologic features. Differences of PSA recurrence and overall survival rates were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier. The multi-variate Cox proportional hazard model was used to examine predictive value of clinico-pathologic features. Results: Included patients were 10,964: 583 (5.3%) Asian Americans, 2,046 (18.7%) African Americans, and 8,335 (76.0%) Caucasians. At diagnosis, Asian Americans had lower clinical stage (p<0.0001) but worse biopsy grade (p = 0.0006) than other groups. They had a higher percentage of organ confined disease (p < 0.0001) and were more likely to choose radical prostatectomy (RP) (p < 0.0001). Asian Americans had improved biochemical recurrence free (p<0.01) and overall survival (p < 0.001) compared to African Americans or Caucasians treated with RP or external beam radiation. Conclusions: Asian Americans with CaP treated in an equal access military health care system have improved pathologic outcomes and survival characteristics compared with other races. Asian ethnicity's negative impact on survival noted by others appears to be from factors other than the tumor's intrinsic behavior such as language barriers, socioeconomic status, and cultural norms. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Scholarly articles on Tiger Woods have attended to his mixed-race body through blackness and the refusal of his Asian heritage and identity. His Asian-ness was not part of the early marketing of his iconicity. In this paper, I looks at how Tiger Woods responded to the news of his marital affairs through a deployment of Buddhism. In particular, I theorize Asian/Asian American masculinity that engages with religion, Asia, Asian-ness, and Asian America to complicate theories of race, gender, and sexuality. Through the invocation of Buddhism, Tiger Woods offers a different racial heteronormativity that is legible in the nation and larger marketplace. In the process, he aligns with Asian and Asian American respectability as a way to temper blackness; it is an Asian and Asian American identity grounded in the rise of Asian capital and reconfigurations of both Asian and Asian American masculinity. Therefore, through Asian-ness, Woods offers an assemblage of religion, race, gender, and sexuality that silences and erases blackness.

AimsTo measure rates of racism experienced and witnessed by Junior Doctors working at Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.MethodsSurveys were sent out via e-mail and WhatsApp to all Junior Doctors from 22 November 2021 to 1 December 2021.Questions asked about personal experiences of racism, witnessing racism to/from patients and/or staff whilst working in Derbyshire, knowledge of how to report incidents and if routinely reported. Doctor race and gender recorded.Results88 Junior Doctors contacted. Response rate 55% (48 out of 88). 63% female, 35% male and 2% gender undisclosed. 37.5% White, 12.5% Black, 37.5% Asian, 6.3% Mixed-race, 4.2% Arab or other ethnic group and 2% Race undisclosed. 13% of doctors experienced racism from staff: 75% of the Black female population, 50% of the Black male population, 8% of the Asian female population and 17% of the Asian male population. 27% of doctors experienced racism from patients: 50% Black female population, 50% Black male population, 58% Asian female population, 16% Asian male population, 100% Mixed-race female population and 1 Race unspecified male. 13% of doctors witnessed racism from staff to other staff: 75% Black female population, 50% Black male population, 11% Asian female population and 16% Asian male population. 63% of doctors witnessed racism from patients towards staff: 75% Black female population, 50% Black male population, 67% Asian female population, 33% Asian male population, 100% of the Mixed-race population, 58% White female population, 83% of the White male population and by 1 male Race unspecified. Two reports of racism witnessed from staff towards patients. 50% of doctors do not know how to report racism. 54% of doctors would report racism if they knew how.ConclusionBlack, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) Junior Doctors are disproportionately affected by racism with female gender as an additional vulnerability. Mixed-race females, Asian females, and Black doctors gave highest reported experience of racism from patients. Black doctors gave a higher reported experience of racism from staff and reported witnessing the most racism from staff towards other staff. Mixed-race and White male doctors represent a high number of those that witness patients be racist towards staff. Additional support is required in encouraging allyship, confidence and ability to report racism.

The mass shooting in Atlanta that killed eight people including six Asian women in March 2021 marked the new peak of the unceasing waves of anti-Asian violence since the outbreak of COVID-19 in the United States. In this context, this article examines how a group of Chinese visual artists in New York perform and remake their Asian identity on social media in response to a surge in hatred towards and violence against Asians in the United States following the outbreak of COVID-19. Based on my analysis of their visual rhetoric and media activism, I identify three approaches that this group of Chinese visual artists use to perform and remake their Asian identity. First, they performed their Asian identity by developing various visual rhetorics to combat and denounce anti-Asian discourse and hate crime. Second, their Asian identity emerged when they created new visual rhetoric to reimagine what it meant to be Asian in the United States. The new visual rhetoric enriched the understanding of Asian-ness and diversified the experiences of being Asian in the United States by overtly or subtly challenging Asian stereotypes as a product of the western imagination. Lastly, they claimed their Asian identity through seeking racial justice in a larger social context in collaboration with other racial minority groups.

Abstract Background Obesity is associated with an increased risk of diabetes, yet Asian Americans have a higher burden of diabetes at lower BMI. Hence, the ADA recommends BMI intervention thresholds for Asians that are 2-2.5 kg/m2 lower than those for other race/ethnicities. This study uses data from a large and diverse healthcare system to examine weight distribution of middle-aged adults with diabetes by race/ethnicity and Asian subgroups to highlight ethnic-specific variation. Methods Using electronic record databases, we consolidated BMI data from 60,535 adults aged 45-64 years with diabetes (Diabetes Registry identification of diabetes diagnosis, qualifying laboratory data, and/or pharmacotherapy), excluding those with missing or underweight BMI. Self-reported race/ethnicity data was assigned as Non-Hispanic white, Hispanic/Latinx, Black, and Asian/Pacific Islander (Asian), further categorized as Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, other Southeast Asian, South Asian, Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (PI), and all other/unspecified Asian. Standard and [Asian-specific] BMI cut-points (18.5 to <25 [<23], 25 to <30 [23 to <27.5], 30 to <35 [27.5 to <32.5], 35 to <40 [32.5 to <37.5], ≥40 [≥37.5] kg/m2) were used to characterize normal, overweight, and class 1-3 obesity. Curvilinear graphs representing BMI distribution were utilized to examine weight patterns by race and ethnicity. Results Middle-aged Asian adults with diabetes (N=15,997) had lower average BMI (28.4 ±5.2) compared to their non-Hispanic white (34.7 ±7.6), Hispanic/Latinx (33.6 ±6.9) and Black (34.8 ±7.7) counterparts (p<0.05). Utilizing standard BMI cut-offs, 25-30% of Asian females and males were normal weight, 38-45% were overweight, and only 29-32% were obese. These same cut-offs identified 72%, 71%, and 66% of non-Hispanic White, Black, and Hispanic/Latinx with obesity. In comparison, the Asian-specific BMI cut-offs identified 9-14% of Asian females and males with normal weight, 36-41% with overweight, and 51% with obesity; the majority had class 1 obesity. When we further examined weight distribution by Asian subgroup, there were notable similarities between the following subgroups: Filipino and South Asian, Chinese and other Southeast Asian, Japanese and Hawaiian/PI. The Asian subgroups with the highest BMI, Hawaiian/PI (32.1 ±6.9) and Japanese (31.0 ±6.3), more closely resembled non-Asian populations with respect to weight distribution than Asian subgroups with the lowest BMI, Chinese (27.2 ±4.8) and other Southeast Asian (26.2 ±4.0). Using standard/Asian-specific BMI cut-offs, 55/71% and 49/69% of Hawaiian/PI and Japanese adults with diabetes had obesity, compared to only 23/40% and 15/32% of Chinese and other Southeast Asian, respectively. Conclusions These data highlight inherent differences between ethnic groups and underscore the importance of disaggregating Asian subgroups when characterizing weight status in this heterogenous population. Our findings in Asians with diabetes support consideration of optimal BMI intervention thresholds by ethnicity. Further studies should also explore differences by nativity and acculturation on the patterns observed, as well as the influence of weight trajectory on clinical outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
The Asian race represents one of the fastest growing racial groups in the United States that have unique health-care issues and barriers to services. Despite being the second largest racial group among medical students, Asians represent a markedly smaller proportion of leadership. Greater inclusion may facilitate Asian-related curriculum content development, community-engaged research, and increased services for Asian communities. This article explores Southeast and East Asian American (AA) medical students’ perceptions of and challenges toward pursuing academic medicine careers. We collected quantitative and qualitative data among 138 participants. Factors that increased trainees’ interests include collaboration with others, teaching and research opportunities, and influential role models/mentors. Interventions identified to overcome perceived challenges include exposure to senior-level race-concordant role models and mentors, enhancement of communication skills, and informed career discussions between parents and trainees. Such interventions may engage more AA trainees into academia and facilitate their growth as leaders.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn the 2008 presidential primaries, Barack Obama seemed to have a problem connecting with Asian American voters, as he lost heavily to Hillary Clinton in states such as California and New Jersey. Many speculated that race-based considerations played a significant role in Asian Americans' overwhelming support for Clinton over Obama, with conjectures built on a limited set of aggregate exit poll data from three states. Race may also have accounted for the high proportion of Asian Americans who in polls said they were undecided heading into the November election. In this article, we analyze the importance of race-based considerations in the Asian American vote, after controlling for other factors such as partisanship, issue preferences, age, and gender. We rely on the National Asian American Survey, a large-scale telephone survey of Asian American voters conducted mostly in the fall of 2008, with interviews in eight languages and with sizable numbers of respondents from the six largest national-origin groups. We find that race-based considerations do indeed help explain the Asian American vote in 2008. Respondents who failed to see political commonality between Asian Americans and Blacks were less likely to vote for Obama in the primary, although other factors, such as age and gender, played a more significant role. Finally, the role of race-based considerations paled in comparison to party identification and issue preferences in the general election, suggesting that election contexts can play an important role in shaping whether or not race is relevant to vote choice.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the dynamics of race and ethnic options for those racially labeled “Asian” in U.S. society. Drawing on sixty-four in-depth interviews with second-generation Chinese and Korean Americans, I look at how Asian racial categorization and its dynamics shape informal, everyday social encounters between Asians and non-Asians. These dynamics suggest an ethnic bind — a sense of uncertainty and conflict about the meaning and significance of ethnic identity and practice, stemming from the multiple and contradictory pressures surrounding it. The second-generation Chinese and Korean Americans experienced pressures both to cultivate their Chinese and Korean membership and to downplay or minimize it. For those labeled “Asian,” the ethnic bind is part of the social terrain on which ethnic identity is produced, with ethnic options emerging out of the contests and negotiations surrounding them.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores young South Asian women’s accounts of being subject to surveillance within a post-September 11th United States political framework, using a combination of surveillance studies and a postcolonial studies attention to practices of racialization and belonging. It looks at non-technological practices of person-to-person surveillance of South Asian women by non-authoritative white Americans. The article discusses young women’s accounts of feeling ‘stared at’ by other Americans in public space, and examines how the effects of this surveillance relates to young women’s identities as South Asians in America. The article argues that citizen surveillance practices have racialized outcomes for young women of South Asian descent that sometimes consolidates a South Asian racial subjectivity within the US. The fieldwork also uncovers an extension of arguments about racialized surveillance to consider cultural bodily practices and clothing artifacts alongside racial identity.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Asthma and allergic rhinitis (AR) are inflammatory conditions that are similar in pathophysiology. Mild-to-moderate persistent asthma has been widely treated with inhaled corticosteroids, while allergic rhinitis is commonly treated with antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, anticholinergics, and other allergy specific medications. The introduction of montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist, has opened a treatment pathway that is common to both conditions. Previous real world studies of montelukast (Singulair®) relative to other medications have not investigated the role of race in the management of asthma and AR, specifically as relates to differences among Asian versus non-Asian patients. Objective: To contrast montelukast use and patterns of ambulatory care for adult Asian versus non-Asian patients in the United States with asthma and/or AR. Methods: Data for adult asthma and AR patients were extracted from a national electronic medical records database for the years 2006-2014. Patients were classified into condition cohort (Asthma-Only, AR-Only, Asthma & AR), and treatment condition (monotherapy or combination therapy, with or without montelukast for Asthma and Asthma & AR cohorts, usual care with or without montelukast for AR-Only) and stratified by race (Asian vs. non-Asian). Results: Overall patterns of use of montelukast were similar for Asian and non-Asian patients, but Asians were more likely to receive it as part of a combination therapy regimen. Changes in treatment regimen followed similar patterns for both groups. Asian patients with both asthma and AR were found to have lower service utilization rates if their therapy included montelukast, whereas for non-Asians there was no significant difference between regimens with or without montelukast. Conclusion: Differences in montelukast use and outcomes of care exist between Asian and non-Asian patients in the United States. Future research should explore the reasons for these differences and whether they can be replicated in non-US settings.

This study focuses on modern representations of race on the Internet. As race continues to be used as a meaningful category for understanding the social world, Internet-based displays of racial membership reflect the ongoing significance of race. Concurrent with Facebook's growth in popularity has been the development in ways that racial identity has been expressed online. While Facebook has been the site of study for individual behavior, Facebook Group behavior is still understudied. The author applies the communication theory of identity and self-categorization theory to digital expressions of race as examples of cultural markers of identification. Thematic analysis is used to examine intra-racial and cross-racial variances across cultural groups that are self-identified as White/Caucasian, Black/African-American, and Asian/Asian-American. The results indicate that users of colors create online representations of race that are different and counter to those found in mass media.

Full textAbstract:
Due to their awareness of multiraciality and their perceptions of race categories as fluid, multiracial individuals may be unique in how they racially categorize multiracial faces. Yet race categorization research has largely overlooked how multiracial individuals categorize other mixed-race people. We therefore asked Asian, White, and multiracial individuals to categorize Asian-White faces using an open-ended response format, which more closely mirrors real-world race categorizations than forced-choice response formats. Our results showed that perceivers from all three racial groups tended to categorize Asian-White faces as monoracial Asian, White, or Hispanic. However, multiracial perceivers categorized the Asian-White faces as multiracial more often than monoracial perceivers did. Our findings suggest that multiracial individuals may approach racial categorization differently from either monoracial majority or minority group members. Furthermore, our results illustrate possible difficulties multiracial people may face when trying to identify other multiracial in-group members.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The need for long-term care workers (LTCW) will grow significantly as the American population ages. Understanding the factors that impact job satisfaction of this workforce has important implications for policy and practice. Previous research has demonstrated the effect of supervisor support on the job satisfaction of these workers; however, much less is known about how this effect differs among different race/ethnicity or immigration groups. This study examined how supervisor support mediates the associations between race/ethnicity, immigration status, and job satisfaction among nursing assistants (NAs). Data of 2,763 NAs were extracted from the National Nursing Assistant Survey (2004). Race/ethnicity groups included White (54%), African American (30%), Asian (2%), Hispanic (10%), and others (4%). Immigration status included U.S.-born citizens (87%), naturalized (7%) and resident/alien (6%). Bivariate analyses showed that Asian NAs perceived higher levels of supervisory support than other races, whereas U.S.-born NAs reported lower levels of supervisory support than naturalized and residents/aliens. Findings from multivariate analyses indicated that non-Hispanic Asians and Resident/Alien workers reported significantly higher levels of job satisfaction than their counterparts, and the associations were fully mediated by NAs’ perceived supervisor support. These findings support prior research that supervisor support is important to improving job satisfaction and contribute to the literature that Asians/Residents/Aliens long-term care workers may be more sensitive to supervisory support and may be more grateful if they received support from supervisors. Managers should be aware of these racial differences and by being supportive they may improve NAs job satisfaction and reduce turnover rates.

1606 Background: Study of the ER-/PR-/HER2- (TN) subtype has generated interest in race/ethnicity with respect to breast cancer. Poor survival of African-American (AA) women with breast cancer has been reported. Less is known about the Asian population. This study examines survival of four ER/PR/HER2 subtypes among 10 self-reported race/ethnicity categories Methods: Using the California Cancer Registry 2000-2010, we examined 136,175 cases first primary female invasive breast cancer. For stages 1 and 2, Kaplan-Meier survival and the Log-Rank test were computed by stage and race for the ER+/PR+/HER2-, ER-/PR-/HER2+, ER+/PR+/HER2+ (TP) and TN subtypes. Results: When the Asian population is combined into the category Asian/Pacific Islander (API): ER+/PR+/HER2-: AAs had worse 5-year survival than whites in stages 1 and 2 but Hispanics and APIs had better survival in both stages; ER-/PR-/HER2+: AAs and Hispanics were no different from whites in stage 1 but APIs had better 5-year survival (0.96 vs 0.89, p<0.001). For stage 2, there were no differences in survival among the races. ER+/PR+/HER2+: AAs had worse and APIs had better survival in both stages; Hispanics had better survival only in stage 1 (0.93 vs 0.92, p<0.03) and were no different from whites in stage 2. ER-/PR-HER2-: AAs and Hispanics were no different from whites in stage 1 but APIs had better survival (0.93 vs 0.88, p< .003); AAs had worse survival than whites in stage 2 (0.71 vs 0.75, p< 0.04) Hispanics were no different, and APIs had better survival (0.81, p < 0.001). When the Asian population was expanded into 7 categories, Pacific Islanders and Koreans were no different than whites in stages 1 or 2 for all four subtypes examined. For Stage 1, Southeast Asians had better survival for all subtypes except for the TN whereas Filipinos had better survival for all subtypes except for TP. For the ER+/PR+/HER2- subtype, women from the Indian Continent had better survival in stage 1 (0.98 vs 0.92, p<0.003) and in stage 2 (0.94 vs 0.88, p<.001) and better survival for stage 1 of the TN subtype (1.00, vs 0.88, p <0.04). Conclusions: There is heterogeneity among the Asian population, but regardless of how categorized, Asians have either the same or better 5-year survival than whites for all subtypes in stages 1 and 2.

We applied critical race theory’s concept of intersectionality to analyze the experiences of discrimination among Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (APIs) in the United States, across race, gender, and sexuality. We collected tweets from October 2016 through December 2017 using the hashtag #thisis2016 on the social media platform, Twitter. Data were scoped down to 3,156 tweets and were coded by four members of our research team—all of whom identify as Asian American female social workers. Only intersectional themes related to the convergence of race, gender, and sexuality among APIs are reported in this article. These six themes include the following: (1) API women are perceived to be exotic and are overtly sexualized, (2) API women are expected to be passive, (3) API men are perceived to be weak and asexual, (4) Both API men and women are the objects of racialized violence and sexual harassment, (5) Queer APIs have unique experiences of sexualized harassment and violence, and (6) APIs are the subjects of neocolonialist attitudes. Taken together, these themes portray an intersectional understanding of the Asian American experience that counteracts stereotypes of Asians as the “model minority,” who do not experience racialized, sexualized, and gendered microaggressions.

The researchers designed a critical race case study to represent media coverage by and experiences of Asian American1 journalists during the first months of COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. After analyzing data inductively, the researchers drew upon critical race theory scholarship to apply the theoretical concepts of race consciousness, whiteness as property, and the hegemony of racial hierarchy to analyze Asian American journalists’ experience during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The researchers used the Asian American Journalists Association’s repository of news coverage, webinars, and panels written and presented by Asian American journalists; in-depth interviews with Asian American journalists; and their social media posts about Asian American experience and the pandemic as data sources. Triangulated across the data sources, the following themes are represented: (a) Asian American Journalists: Living and Reporting Multiple, Intersecting Crises; (b) Anti-Asian American Discrimination and Racism; and (c) The Paradox of Asian American hypervisibility and invisibility; the subtheme is “Calling for Diversity, Equity, and Transformation in the Newsroom.”

Abstract Background The increasing incidence of IBD globally presents an important opportunity to study intrinsic and environmental determinants of disease development. We examined how race and immigration status influence IBD manifestations, treatments, and outcomes in a diverse, tertiary-care public hospital that serves predominantly the uninsured and underinsured. Methods We conducted a single-center retrospective review of all IBD patients treated from 1997–2017. Using logistic regression modeling, we compared disease onset, treatment, and outcomes by race (White, Black, Hispanic, Asian) and immigration status (US-born vs. foreign-born). To assess for the potential confounder of race in analyses of US versus foreign-born subjects, we further evaluated differences in IBD characteristics among foreign-born patients in each of the four racial groups. Results A total of 577 patients were identified, of which 29.8% were White, 27.4% Hispanic, 21.7% Black, and 13.0% Asian. Of these patients, 260 had a confirmed country of birth, with 69.6% being foreign-born. The time between IBD diagnosis and last documented follow up was not statistically different between races, nor by foreign versus US-born status. Asian IBD patients were less likely than White IBD patients to be female (OR 0.38, 95% CI: 0.20, 0.69). Among ulcerative colitis (UC) patients, Asians were more likely than White patients to have isolated proctitis (OR 10.34, 95% CI: 1.58, 203.08). Black patients were less likely to be diagnosed with UC (OR 0.57, 95% CI: 0.36, 0.91) and more likely to undergo IBD-related intestinal resection (OR 2.49, 95% CI: 1.40, 4.50), though the opposite was true in foreign-born Black patients. Overall, foreign-born patients were more likely to be diagnosed with UC (OR 1.77, 95% CI: 1.04, 3.02). They were also less likely to be diagnosed before 16 years of age (OR 0.19, 95% CI: 0.08, 0.41), have undergone intestinal resections (OR 0.39, 95% CI: 0.19, 0.83), or have received biologics (OR 0.43, 95% CI: 0.25, 0.76). No single race accounted for the decreased use of biologics or intestinal resections among foreign-born patients. Conclusions IBD phenotype varies by race, although foreign-born patients of all races show evidence of later onset and milder disease. As our study was performed in a large single-center safety-net hospital, our study design minimized socioeconomic confounders. These findings may aid in disease prognostication and clinical management and furthermore may provide insight into intrinsic and environmental influences on IBD pathogenesis.

We use factor analysis to create representative indices of these axes and estimate regression models using race as a predictive variable. We find no evidence that Asian Brazilians differ from White Brazilians along either of these two axes. However, we find that a university education has an especially strong relationship with cognitive orientation towards politics for Asian Brazilians. On average, Asian Brazilians with a university education had a cognitive orientation towards politics score 17% higher than Asian Brazilians without a university education, though we do not find a similar effect for institutional confidence. Overall, we find that ethnic identity, particularly for Asians, does not have a strong effect on either of the axes but education has different effects on them between different ethnic groups. Key Words: Race and political behavior, minority political behavior, Asians in Latin America, factor analysis Resumo Poucos estudos têm examinado a relação entre raça e política para Brasileiros Asiáticos. Usando dados do Projeto de Opinião Pública de América Latina, examinamos essa relação através de dois eixos: orientação cognitiva à política e confiança institucional. Nós usamos analise fatorial para propor índices representativos e estimamos modelos de regressão usando raça como uma variável preditiva. Não encontramos evidencia que Brasileiros Asiáticos diferem com Brasileiros Brancos em ambos os eixos. Porém, achamos que educação superior tem uma relação particularmente forte com a orientação cognitiva à política para Brasileiros Asiáticos. Na média, Brasileiros Asiáticos com educação superior tem uma pontuação de orientação cognitiva à política 17% mais alta do que Brasileiros Asiáticos sem educação superior, apesar de não encontramos um efeito semelhante para a confiança institucional. No geral, descobrimos que a identidade étnica, particularmente para os asiáticos, não tem um forte efeito em nenhum dos eixos, mas a educação tem efeitos diferentes entre os diferentes grupos étnicos.

141 Background: Concerns about racial disparities in the adoption of medical advances motivate investigation of the use of hypofractionated radiotherapy, a less burdensome and less costly approach that is efficacious for most patients with early-stage breast cancer. Methods: A prospectively collected statewide quality consortium database from 25 institutions was queried for breast cancer patients who completed hypofractionated (HF) or conventionally fractionated whole breast radiotherapy (RT) from 1/2012-12/2018. We used patient-level multivariable modeling to evaluate associations between HF use and race, controlling for patient and facility factors, and multilevel modeling to account for patient clustering within facilities. Results: Of 10,318 patients analyzed, 80% self-reported their race as White, 18% as Black, and 2% as Asian, similar to statewide and national distributions. 31% of Whites were treated at academic centers compared to 65% of Blacks and 65% of Asians. In 2018, HF was utilized in 75% of Whites versus 60% of Blacks and 68% of Asians. On patient-level multivariable analysis (see Table), Black and Asian race were significantly associated with a lower likelihood of HF receipt, despite accounting for treatment year, age, laterality, BMI, breast volume, comorbidities, stage, triple-negative status, IMRT use, academic center treatment, and 2011 ASTRO Hypofractionation Guideline eligibility. On multilevel analysis, race was no longer significantly associated with HF receipt. Conclusions: We observed thatBlack and Asian patients receive hypofractionated RT less often, despite more frequent treatment at academic centers. Multilevel modeling eliminated this disparity, suggesting that differences in facility-specific HF use may contribute. Further inquiry is needed to determine if reduction of facility-level variation may reduce disparities in accessing HF treatment.[Table: see text]

I have recently taken up a post as Senior Registrar in Psychotherapy in Leicester where about 20% of the citizens are Asian or Afro-Caribbean. For the rest of this article I shall use the term ‘black’ as synonymous with Asian and Afro-Caribbean. While realising this may offend some readers, I use it in a political sense and know that many prefer it to the equally inaccurate use of the term ‘ethnic minority’. Before being promoted, I was on the general psychiatry registrar rotation in the same city and not surprisingly had a large number of black patients. Now I have none; there are very few referred to the Department, and I gather this is typical of psychotherapy units across the country. I want to consider why this is so, and what, if anything, should be done about it.

Background: This study tested for differences in personal, social, and environmental correlates of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) across ethnicity/race in male and female adolescents. Methods: Self-reported MVPA and 47 potential correlates of MVPA were measured in an ethnically/racially diverse cross-sectional sample of adolescents, in Minnesota, who participated in EAT-2010 (Eating and Activity in Teens). Interactions of potential correlates with ethnicity/race on MVPA were tested in linear hierarchical regression models in boys and girls. Results: Boys reported 1.7 more weekly hours of MVPA than girls. White adolescents reported 1.1 to 2.1 more weekly hours of MVPA than nonwhite adolescents. Among girls, neighborhood road connectivity was negatively correlated with MVPA among Hispanic and Asian participants. Among boys, sports participation was positively correlated with MVPA among all ethnicities/races, except Asians. Home media equipment was positively correlated with MVPA among Hispanic boys, but negatively correlated among white boys. Conclusions: A few correlates of physical activity among adolescents differed intersectionally by ethnicity/race and sex. Sports participation and home media equipment may have differing impacts on physical activity across ethnicities and races in boys, whereas neighborhood features like road connectivity may have differing impacts on physical activity across ethnicities and races in girls.

Full textAbstract:
Asian Americans are the fastest growing racial group and transform New York City into a majority ‘minority’ city. The decennial census allows for the political redistricting in accordance with the goal of the fourteenth amendment. The Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF) launch a survey-based study to document New York City’s historic and emergent Asian neighborhoods. AALDEF aims to learn of the Asian immigrant populations whose interests are typically not represented in the political or policy discourses. The survey discusses the survey findings for four neighborhoods with the most concentration of Asians. Their goal was to draw a district boundary that kept Asians in a neighborhood whole to create opportunities in electing a politician who will represent their interests. The article discusses neighborhood boundaries and its subjectivity influenced by various social factors including such as gender and race. The quality of the neighborhoods and its problems, and how being Asian affects that situation.
