Young (18-34) whites exhibit the lowest in-group bias of any racial/ethnic group, while white liberals are the only demographic to register a pro-outgroup bias (#whiteguilt)
Somewhat relatedly, a clear majority of young white libs and dems think that a majority-minority America would "strengthens the country", while a majority of mods, indeps, reps and cons say that it 'doesn't make a difference.'
White democrats and liberals who give the 'strengthens the country' response are significantly more likely to register a pro-outgroup bias
This difference in pro-ingroup scores among liberals by majority-minority response is actually fairly large--0.65 of a standard deviation.
More strikingly, there are no sig. differences among white indeps and reps. They show a slight pro-ingroup bias regardless of their feelings about a major.-minor.-US. For Libs, oth, it appears a maj-man comes with a greater tendency to distance/disassociate from the 'in-group'
To add yet another datapoint, 16% of white dems and 20% of white libs attended anti-trump protested since the election. And, on the average, attendees registered varying degrees of pro-outgroup bias, including 0.9 and 0.7 of a standard deviation for libs and dems, respectively
Independent and moderate participants also show pro-outgroup bias, but their numbers are too small to arrive at a precise estimate.
Data from the ANES 2016 show that the in-group bias pattern noted above (lowest among whites + pro-outgroup bias among white liberals) applies more generally/is not limited to the 18-34 group.

1/n After trailing them somewhat in 2016, white Dems (51.8%) are now significantly more likely (p=0.001) than non-white Dems (43.6%) to prioritize the use of 'inclusive'/PC language over speaking frankly about issues and problems facing the country. Little change among white Reps
2/n Disaggregating the Dem racial/ethnic groups, whites are sig. more likely to give this response than blacks and hispanics, but are virtually tied with their Asian counterparts (who, as some contend, do their best to ape woke white elite sensibilities )
3/n Checking in on white liberals, the figures overall (56%) are very similar as those among Dems. Somewhat surprisingly, though, sex differences in this response are fairly modest

1/n 53% of white liberals (48% of white Dems) think that white people should feel guilty about racial inequality
2/n Needless to say, this is more or less the purpose of equity-oriented K-12 curriculums--i.e., cultivate white support for race-conscious/anti-white policies via the inculcation of collective guilt and shame.
3/n Alas, and as my dissertation research suggests, it may actually be an effective strategy. And I suspect proponents of such curricula *know* this (I mean, the relevant literature explicitly discusses shame and guilt in terms of its utility for effecting social change).

1/n Very briefly (I'm vacationing in India atm), the 2016 CCES Team Module of American University shows that 30% of white liberals (19% white cons) don't think there ANY IQ diffs between wealthy and poor people. Among those that believe there *are* diffs..
2/n 32.6% of white liberals (vs. ~18% of cons) indicated that genes were 'not important at all' in these differences, which was their modal response choice
3/n Generally speaking, the Left is more likely to deny genetic attributions for outcome differences between economic classes and advantaged vs. disadvantaged social groups. They may accept their relevance to differences between individuals--but economic classes and..

1/n Ah, forgot to give an update: I successfully defended my dissertation (in fact, fwiw, my committee members thought so much of it that they are nominating me for a best doctoral dissertation award), so I guess I’m now a ‘doctor’ 🤷‍♂️
2/n The years of research/work I put into this dissertation will now serve as the basis for many of the articles (and ultimately the book) I’ll be writing in the months and years ahead. Tl;dr of dissertation: White guilt and shame are central to..
3/n …to white racial liberalism (aka ‘wokeness’). In their absence, white racial attitudes would be far more conservative (note: my dissertation is completely agnostic on whether these emotions are ‘good’ or should be ‘encouraged’. I have my own normative position, but you..)

1/n Someone asked me to compile these data, but I'll share them here as well: top 10 unarmed (i.e., no lethal weapon found) white vs. black deaths at the hands of police in terms of ProQuest news article search results Image
2/n Had to create separate graphs because a single graph would have obscured the bars for white victims (as below) Image
3/n I have the data for ALL unarmed black and white victims, so I'll probably write up an analysis via substack in the coming weeks

1/2 The Mapping Police Violence database counts many cases in which off-duty police officers (for instance) murder their families or lovers (and each family member is counted as a separate victim). I mean..I get that these acts were committed by police officers. But are they.. ImageImage
2/2 ...but can they *really* be reasonably construed* as cases of lethal police force? I call bullshit.
3/2 Hell, even *accidental* off-duty shootings are counted: "Miller's husband accidentally shot her in the head when he was cleaning his gun. She was 22 weeks pregnant, and the child died after an emergency c-section. The killing was ruled accidental."
