Objectives: Collective minoritized identities such as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) may promote cross-racial solidarity. However, Asian Americans occupy a racially triangulated position as the "buffer minority" stereotyped as both the model minority and perpetual foreigner, complicating their inclusion in the BIPOC identity. The present study examined how the model minority and perpetual foreigner stereotypes relate to Asian Americans' perceived belongingness and identification with the BIPOC identity and, in turn, their interracial solidarity toward Black Americans.

Method: A path analysis was conducted using cross-sectional data from a sample of 312 Asian Americans ( = 41.19, 69.87% college graduates, 46.79% foreign-born) to examine direct and indirect effects on Black community activism orientation (BCAO), with internalized model minority stereotype (MMS) and experiences of COVID-19 racial bias (CVRB) as exogenous predictors and perceived BIPOC inclusion and BIPOC self-identification as mediators.

Results: The BIPOC variables demonstrated a direct and positive association with BCAO. Furthermore, internalized MMS negatively related to BCAO through the sum effect of decreased perceived BIPOC inclusion and BIPOC self-identification, while experiences of CVRB positively related to BCAO through the sum effect of increased perceived BIPOC inclusion and BIPOC self-identification.

Conclusions: Asian Americans' perceived BIPOC inclusion and BIPOC self-identification are shaped by their racially triangulated position, characterized by both the inhibiting effect of internalized MMS and the promoting effect of experiences of CVRB. This heightened or diminished BIPOC self-concept subsequently influenced their willingness to engage in interracial solidarity for Black Americans.

Sexual and gender minority (SGM) cancer survivors face unmet care needs in accessing cancer health information and social support despite high satisfaction with treatment. SGM patients often delay care due to concerns of discrimination in healthcare settings, though the care experiences of SGM skin cancer survivors are less known. SGM individuals, particularly sexual minority men, report higher skin cancer prevalence and related risk behaviors than heterosexual men.

Introduction: Men in racial and ethnic minority groups are less likely than non-Hispanic White men to participate in programs designed to improve health, despite having a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes. We sought to understand 1) the interests and preferences of racial and ethnic minority men, with or at risk for type 2 diabetes, in programs designed to improve health and 2) factors that influence participation and health practices.

Methods: We designed a 43-question web-based survey on facilitators and barriers to participation in a healthy living program.
