Racial microaggressions are subtle, often unintentional, and indirect forms of discrimination or insult directed at people based on their race or ethnicity. They can manifest as comments, behaviors, or environmental factors that convey negative stereotypes or biases. Asian Americans (AA) represent the fastest-growing population in the United States, with their numbers expected to continue increasing rapidly. However, the diversity within AA groups is often overlooked or inadequately described due to the pervasive model minority stereotype. The purpose of this study is to examine the racial microaggressions experienced by college students of Chinese descent. The outcomes of this research could help in understanding the social environment in which young Chinese immigrants live and could contribute to improving the environment to enhance their personal growth. This study has two research questions: 1) Does the perception of microaggressions among Chinese immigrants increase or decrease the longer they live in the U.S.? 2) Do women experience more microaggressions than men?
