1/n The percent of blacks and hispanics who say they've personally experienced discrimination 'regularly' or 'from time to time' jumped almost 20 points between 2016 and 2020.
2/n Hmmm....🤔
3/n For more on why self-reported measures of discrimination are suspect, see here
1/n Fascinating. Very conservative whites take more prescription drugs, on average, than all other ideological subgroups. However, when controlling for age (because older people-->more medication), the pattern reverses and very liberal whites pull ahead...
2/n No mental health questions, but if I had to guess...
3/n The initial graph was designed to maximize the visibility of the age-adjusted results-reversal (not the size of the differences between groups). But I've been receiving criticism for not beginning the y-axis at 0, so here is a graph that does so
1/n Biden's 'Racial Economic Equity' plan calls for disaggregating the 'Asian' category as it perpetuates the 'model minority myth'. But to be consistent, he should also being call for the disaggregation of the 'white' category as it perpetuates 'white privilege' stereotypes.
1/n Was reading Caldwell's 'Age of Entitlement' and thought I'd do a quick content analysis to quantify this
2/n In the end, ProQuest's archive of presidential documents shows that Obama used the phrases 'who we are' and 'not who we are' more than Trump, GWB, and Clinton combined
3/n There were certain things I liked about Obama, but such rhetoric wasn't one of them. It essentially divides the country into morally 'good' ingroups and and 'bad' outgroups
1/n As I long suspected, data from a recently published study shows that reading about and/or watching a vid of excessive nonlethal or lethal force against blk suspects (Timothy Harris, Phil. Castille) increases perceptions of the frequency of the police's use of excessive force.
2/n Also as suspected, the average effects across all experimental conditions were significantly stronger for white liberals than conservatives
1/n White moral shame and white guilt (having a graduate also appears to have strong effects but the estimate is more uncertain) are two of the best predictors (in my dataset) of reporting feeling 'happy' about the projected loss of America's white majority.
1/n Chart summarizing the effects of the Floyd incident on white racial attitudes.
2/n Overall, the attitudes of white liberals shifted the most (though some were already in the woke direction, so there's some ceiling effect). This movement was most pronounced in attitudes towards the police, reparations, and favorability of whites vs. blacks (in which..
3/n ...white conservatives actually shifted in the opposite or pro-white direction).
