Abstract
This study builds upon a nascent body of scholarship that examines the transnational movement of White Westerners.
The purpose is to complicate the literature on multiculturalism and globalization by examining the "reverse" migration from,
rather than to, the West. Specifically, it examines White migrants' mobilization of online social protest through a Facebook group
that came together in response to a report broadcast on South Korea's Munhwa Broadcasting Company (MBC) that was interpreted as
racist and xenophobic. In response, White residents in Korea organized dissent and engaged in symbolic protest that served a
collective ego function, creating community around a perceived sense of shared oppression as racialized minorities. To do so, they
drew on global hierarchies, White supremacy, and heteronormativity to challenge their lack of control over their own
representations in the local culture.

Through critical autoethnography, I explore memories with film that I have drawn upon to form hybrid diasporic identifications located in "new ethnicities" that are situated between dominant White racial meanings of home and transnationally informed meanings of homeland. Recalling my memory of watching Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story, I recognize that my identification with Bruce Lee (Jason Scott Lee) and his relationship with Linda Lee Caldwell (Lauren Holly) was situated in my desire for White acceptance, which was manifest in my heterosexual romantic interests in White women. I unravel the ways in which racial isolation and a desire for acceptance and visibility created an internalized politics of desire rooted in dominant racial hierarchies. The second narrative examines my viewing of The Last Present, a Korean film, in a Seoul theater. Seeing a love story centered on a romantically involved Asian man in a relationship with an Asian woman, especially a Korean man and woman, was something I had never previously known, and its presence made visible its absence in my mediated life in the United States. This changed my sense of self, my relationship to dominant culture as part of the Korean diaspora, and my sexual and romantic interests. Because I am in the diaspora, my identification is found in what Hall refers to as new ethnicities, situated in the gaps between the local, dominant culture and transnationally received ethnic, homeland culture.

Through in-depth interviews, this study explored the voices of Asian American journalists who faced unprecedented stresses due to the racist discourse of Asian Americans as carriers of disease during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Socialized to de-emphasize their vulnerabilities in their professional work, Asian American reporters generally claimed they did not experience racist harms, but further probing revealed indirect harms. Women reporters discussed internalized harms such as elevated anxiety and fear, whereas men reporters referenced only external harms such as racial microaggressions. Women reporters also manifested greater self-reflexivity. The importance of analyzing race and gender in White masculine newsrooms is discussed.
