Authors & Date: Hurd, Trawalter, Jakubow, Johnson, & Billingsley (2021) Introduction Over the past 25 years, the number of Black students dropping out of college has increased. This is partly because of the online racism they face while studying. This can make students feel unwelcome and lose focus on their work. Our study focused on a mid-sized public university in the Southeastern U.S. In this study we wanted to answer two main questions: 1) How often are racist comments posted online? 2) Do racists posts negatively affect Black students? Is some of the harm reduced when White students stand up to the posts? Results/Discussion Approximately 44% of posts to the online student newspaper were explicitly racist or prejudiced against marginalized groups. Participants across all of the focus groups said that they had seen racist comments online. Black students felt frustrated, unwelcome, isolated, and overwhelmed when they saw online racism. They also reported feeling distracted and unable to focus on their studies. Black students across the focus groups said it was rare to see someone stand up to a racist post. However, they felt relieved and part of the community when it did happen. Conclusion The data from the focus groups suggested that Black students feel less isolated after seeing White people stand up to online racism. However, most White students admitted that they do not stand up to online racist posts. This is often because they were unsure of what to say and worried about saying the wrong thing. Helping to stop racism is a shared responsibility. People are more likely to express their racist views if they think others support them. You should always report online racism when you see it. If you feel comfortable, you can also use your voice to stand up against it. By making the brave decision to stand up to racism, you are helping to create an inclusive online environment where everyone can thrive.
