This investigation assesses E. Hall’s 1976 communication context as one explanatory mechanism governing interethnic perceptions of subtle racist speech. Six hundred thirteen participants evaluated the perceived harm of direct and indirect racist slurs made by aWhite (European American) speaker to a non-White (Asian, African, or Hispanic American) target.Aseries of 2 2 2 (Message Explicitness: Direct vs. Indirect Group Membership: In-Group vs. Out-Group Racial Slurs: Roommate vs. Class Discussion) mixedeffects ANOVAs revealed that lower and higher context communication styles mediated the perception of racist speech harm. Asian Americans were more sensitive to the communication context, evaluating indirect racist speech as the most problematic; whereas European, African, and Hispanic Americans relied more on the actual message, rating direct racist statements most disturbing. Both theoretical and applied implications of the findings are discussed.
