ALT Racism is a form of prejudice that maintains hierarchy and inequality between groups of people based on social perceptions of how they look (referred to as “race”) (Jones, 2002). Experiences of racism are linked to mental and physical stress, increasing the risk for psychiatric and physical illness among those exposed (e.g., Williams et al., 2021; Carter et al., 2017; Paradies et al., 2015). Those faced with the adverse effects of racism may start to develop coping strategies. Coping strategies are used for managing stress, and over 400 types of coping strategies have been documented in broader research (Skinner et al., 2003). However, which of these strategies is used and useful in the face of racism remains unclear. This paper (Jacob et al, 2022) focuses on the experiences of people perceived to be “Black” in countries where most people are perceived to be “White”.
