Finally, we found evidence for solidarity imbalances. While non-Black participants expected Black acquaintances to be especially supportive, Black participants expected lower support from non-Black acquaintances for both racism and sexism.

We also found that past solidarity behavior increased expectations for support. Past solidarity behavior was an especially important cue if the person belonged to an outgroup and when the behavior was especially active (e.g., protesting).

In a new paper w/ @clarawilkins.bsky.social & @calvinklai.bsky.social, I studied who POC & women expect will have their back after facing racism & sexism. We found 2 patterns for who’s expected to show solidarity: Black > Hispanic > Asian ≥ White & women > men.
