This study draws on over 88,000 geographically linked implicit association test (IAT) results to investigate the links between Christian nationalism and the implicit perception of Asian faces as foreign. Christian nationalism is strongly associated with heightened implicit perceptions of Asian foreignness among non-Asian IAT participants (including other minoritized ethno-racial groups), adjusting for relevant covariates. Karlson–Holm–Breen analysis suggests that the link between Christian nationalism and the implicit perception of Asian faces as foreign is partially mediated by believing that "true" Americans were born in the USA and speak English, highlighting some of the ways through which Christian nationalism is tied to racialized conceptions of American identity and belonging. Implications for the scholarship of Christian nationalism and racism are discussed. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
