Abstract

This research aims to explore the meaning behind racially-based bullying
messages experienced by biracial adolescents. Racial bullying targets the physical
features or ethnic identity of the victim, often resulting in significant effects on their
personal development and mental well-being. Using the Interpretative
Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach, this study delves into the lived
experiences of several biracial adolescents aged 12-19, with mixed heritages
including Indonesia-Korea, Indonesia-India, Indonesia-New Zealand/Dutch, and
Indonesia-Nigeria.
In-depth interviews served as the primary method of data collection,
focusing on the victims' interpretations of the bullying messages they encountered.
Symbolic Interactionism Theory and Coordinated Management of Meaning
(CMM) were applied to analyze how victims make sense of and respond to these
racially motivated messages within their social relationships. The findings suggest
that biracial adolescent as victims interpret the racial-based messages as deeply
ingrained with racial stereotypes. Additionally, the findings also revealed that
biracial adolescent understand the act of racial-based bullying as act of social
exclusion and the construction of self-doubt. These racial-based messages
interpretation leads to a negative self-concept and the development of trust issues.
Moreover, biracial adolescent interpreted the process of communication with
family, friends, and school authorities as the efforts to seek support and process
their emotions.
In conclusion, the findings indicate that biracial adolescents perceive racialbased bullying messages as deeply rooted in racial stereotypes and view these acts
as forms of social exclusion that foster self-doubt. Racial-based bullying not only
affects the psychological development of biracial adolescents but also shapes their
understanding of their racial identity. This study highlights how biracial adolescent
make sense of the experience they faced in order to form coping mechanism.
Keywords: biracial adolescent, racial-based bullying, self-concept, racial stereotypes, exclusion, and trust issue
