Abstract
We examined the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on internalized racism and racial microaggressions impacting Asian compared to Latinx people. Results suggested that Asian experienced more internalized racism and microaggressions during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to Latinxs. Furthermore, microaggressions operated as a mediator for the race effect on internalized racism
