Full racialization requires external ascription and internal adoption to eventually coincide

Evidence

Yet, being racialized does not necessarily mean that the racialized group self-identifies this way immediately. Gotanda (2011, 189) observes that it took a century of racial subordination of diverse Asian populations in the United States, including Chinese, Korean, and Japanese people, before they embraced a pan-ethnic category of Asian American. Eventually, this category was recognized legally under the American census. This stage can be seen as full racialization where racial identification by others matches the racialized self-understanding of the group. — Mareike Riedel, Islamophobia, Racial Discrimination…, 65

Categorization

• XREF: Supplies the temporal lag concept useful to the MOC thread: external racialization precedes self-racialization by up to a century, complicating any demand that the group first self-identify before it can claim protection. — connects to: Racial discrimination can precede and constitute a group’s own racialized self-understanding — Mareike Riedel, Islamophobia, Racial Discrimination…, 66; Race is simultaneously externally imposed and freely self-assumed; Racial subjection works by turning external imposition into self-assumed choice (+3 more)
• CANDY: Asian Americans took a full century of subordination before embracing a pan-ethnic category that then reached the census.
