The Lapdog Syndrome within professional spaces posits that Asian women serve as capable experts in their respective fields, yet are often called upon to do racial interlocution tasks for their white colleagues and/or administrators when conflicts between whites and non-Asian people of color emerge. Thus, Asian women are positioned as seemingly objective and fair arbitrators of racial conflict, a co-construction that makes them ‘raceless’. Such interlocution work is done in relative invisibility further reinforcing Asian women's peripheral and incomplete positioning as legitimate contributors to the more public endeavor of social justice work for racial solidarity.
