Racialized sexual discrimination is sexualized discriminatory treatment that's directed toward racial or ethnic minority groups in online sexual networking spaces. It's a multidimensional construct often grounded in social-cultural scripts or racial stereotypes, such as beliefs that black men embody hypersexual prowess or virility or that Asian men are meek or submissive sex partners. RSD may be expressed as a personal preference that's used to select or exclude potential partners of a certain race or ethnicity.
We developed two studies to investigate RSD. The first involved a series of focus groups, in which gay or bisexual men of color shared their experiences with RSD. We then used those experiences to develop a quantitative scale of RSD, which we used along with other sociodemographic and psychosocial measures as part of a second, larger online study. This study included a nationally representative sample of nearly 2,000 black gay or bisexual men.
