Departing from Jessie Daniels’s 2013 review of scholarship on race and racism online, this article maps and discusses recent developments in the study of racism and hate speech in the subfield of social media research. Systematically examining 104 articles, we address three research questions: Which geographical contexts, platforms, and methods do researchers engage with in studies of racism and hate speech on social media? To what extent does scholarship draw on critical race perspectives to interrogate how systemic racism is (re)produced on social media? What are the primary methodological and ethical challenges of the field? The article finds a lack of geographical and platform diversity, an absence of researchers’ reflexive dialogue with their object of study, and little engagement with critical race perspectives to unpack racism on social media. There is a need for more thorough interrogations of how user practices and platform politics co-shape contemporary racisms.

与Jessie Daniels在2013年对种族和种族主义奖学金的在线评论不同，本文概述并讨论了社交媒体研究子领域中种族主义和仇恨言论研究的最新进展。通过系统地研究104篇文章，我们解决了三个研究问题：研究人员在社交媒体上的种族主义和仇恨言论研究中使用了哪些地理环境，平台和方法？奖学金在多大程度上利用了批判性种族观点来审视系统性种族主义在社交媒体上的（再）产生？该领域的主要方法论和道德挑战是什么？本文发现缺乏地理和平台多样性，缺乏研究人员与研究对象的反省对话，并且很少与批判种族观点进行互动，以在社交媒体上解开种族主义。需要对用户实践和平台政治如何共同塑造当代种族主义进行更彻底的询问。
