Is this graphic accurate, it seems to suggest that White Americans are the least racist

or at the very least, the most careful when answering pollsters

The comments in the link the author explains his process, and findings

quote:

ANES data indicate that White ingroup bias relative to ratings of Blacks has been declining over time (LINK Work by Zach Goldberg indicates that White liberals now have a racial outgroup preference ("America's White Saviors", at the link), and this at least somewhat offsets a racial ingroup preference among White conservatives (LINK Zach's "How the Media Led the Great Racial Awakening" article at the link discusses potential media influence on over-time change in racial attitudes (LINK

Patterns from items directly asking participants to rate racial groups can be interpreted only so much. The relative lack of net ingroup bias among Whites is consistent with other survey experiment work (LINK but I wouldn't interpret any of these results to cover real-world discrimination, especially discrimination detected in field experiments (LINK


quote:

Good idea, George. Average ages in the dataset were 50 among Whites, 46 among Blacks, 41 among Hispanics, and 41 among Asians.

I calculated a measure of ingroup bias as a respondent's rating about their own racial group minus the respondent's average rating about the other three included racial groups. So, for example, for a White respondent, the number for ingroup bias is the White respondent's rating about Whites minus the White respondent's average rating about Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians.

For respondents aged 18 to 30, the ingroup bias is -4 among Whites (N=571), +26 among Blacks (N=91), +11 among Hispanics (N=164), and +14 among Asians (N=46). The negative ingroup bias among Whites means that the rating about Whites was lower than the average rating about Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians.

For respondents aged 31 to 50, the ingroup bias is -1 among Whites (N=1,424), +17 among Blacks (N=213), +9 among Hispanics (N=245), and +10 among Asians (N=97).

For respondents aged 51 and older, the ingroup bias is +4 among Whites (N=2,695), +17 among Blacks (N=235), +10 among Hispanics (N=175), and +13 among Asians (N= 80).

At the very least should be some good math porn for the inclined

We are by far the least racist and least tribal race. Only a liar or idiot would claim otherwise.

i say this facetiously - whites are the least racist because whites have nothing to be racist about - other groups are racist against whites because whites have, and continue to, keep them down

TO THOSE WHO HAVE DOWN VOTED, AND FOR THOSE WHO ARE TEMPTED TO DOWN VOTE - please look up the definition of "facetious" before you down vote or post - the above comment is tongue in cheek - the point of the post is that those who are looking to discredit the graph would say what I posted - which is simply untrue - FACETIOUS!!!!!

I’m really not sure white people feel comfortable enough to answer that honestly except maybe on the poli board. Probably a ton of bias in that data.

White Americans are the least racist in the history of humanity.

Prove me wrong.

That is a possibility, obviously

But what does that say about the other races that they so freely admit they see all other groups as significantly inferior?

I would have thought the Hispanics would have been higher with the blacks. I see it constantly in construction, you can’t mix them or you’re asking for trouble. While in the military in SA, the locals would get very aggressive with them.

How about the fact that blacks rate themselves significantly higher than any other race rates themselves?

It’s not about shame. It’s about people’s lives getting ruined if people found out.
