Color-blind racial ideology, the belief that race does not matter and racism does not exist, is a modern expression of racism, as it denies the reality of racial issues that people of color experience (Neville, Lilly, Duran, Lee, & Browne, 2000). We tested Neville et al.’s (2000) Color-Blind Racial Attitudes Scale (CoBRAS), the most widely used measure of color-blind racial ideology, in a sample of 344 Asian American adults. Given the lack of psychometric evidence and that Asian Americans have a unique sociopolitical history in the United States associated with distinct forms of racism (e.g., perpetual foreigner stereotypes and the model minority myth), we tested previously established measurement models of the CoBRAS for this population. We also conducted measurement invariance of the CoBRAS across generational status, given the discrepancy in awareness of racial issues depending on indicators of acculturation. Results suggest that the original oblique three-factor model had a poor fit to the data. Alternatively, we found that a bifactor model, with one general factor and three group factors (Unawareness of Blatant Racial Issues, Institutional Discrimination, and Racial Privilege), was the best-fitting model. Examination of model-based internal consistency estimates of the bifactor model suggests that unidimensional representation (total scale score) is possible. Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis found evidence of configural, metric, and scalar invariance across two generational groups (first and 1.5 group and second and beyond group), suggesting that they interpreted CoBRAS items in a similar fashion. Implications for CoBRAS utility with Asian Americans and future research directions are discussed.

亚裔美国人的色盲种族态度量表：测试跨代地位的因素结构和测量不变性。

色盲种族意识形态，即种族无关紧要且种族主义不存在的信念，是种族主义的现代表达，因为它否认有色人种所经历的种族问题的现实（Neville、Lilly、Duran、Lee 和 Browne , 2000)。我们在 344 名亚裔美国成年人的样本中测试了 Neville 等人 (2000) 的色盲种族态度量表 (CoBRAS)，这是最广泛使用的色盲种族意识形态衡量标准。鉴于缺乏心理测量证据，并且亚裔美国人在美国拥有与不同形式的种族主义相关的独特社会政治历史（例如，永久的外国人刻板印象和模范少数民族神话），我们测试了先前为该人群建立的 CoBRAS 测量模型. 我们还对跨代状态的 CoBRAS 进行了测量不变性，鉴于种族问题意识的差异取决于文化适应的指标。结果表明，原始倾斜三因素模型对数据的拟合不佳。或者，我们发现具有一个一般因素和三个群体因素（对公然种族问题的无知、制度歧视和种族特权）的双因子模型是最合适的模型。检查双因子模型的基于模型的内部一致性估计表明单维表示（总分）是可能的。多组验证性因素分析发现两个世代组（第一组和 1.5 组以及第二组及以后组）的配置、度量和标量不变性的证据，表明他们以类似的方式解释 CoBRAS 项目。
