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..
4/n...and social groups are necessarily comprised of individuals. So no, I don't think @JonHaidt is far off the mark here.

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."

1/n To update an older thread , after decades of relative stability, tolerance for racist speech continues to plummet, particularly among white liberals. Tolerance among white conservatives, meanwhile, has remained relatively stable.
2/n Combined scale

1/n and white Democrats have retaken the lead !!! (*crowd goes wild*)
2/n Caveat: the General Social Survey shifted its methodology (to online polling) in response to COVID, which means it's more difficult to determine the extent that the 2018 vs. 2021 figures represent actual opinion change (vs. bias introduced by the new methodology). However..
3/n ...online surveys naturally afford greater anonymity, which should reduce social desirability pressures/increase honest reporting. So the fact that this response has *increased* among white Dems suggests that the change is either genuine or the result of sampling bias.

1/n Unless this is sampling bias, some signs that the Awokening has stalled--particularly among white independents. For instance, the share of white indeps that 'agreed' with the statement below *doubled* (33%->66%) between May and June (vs 59%->73% for white Reps).
2/n In contrast, the Awokening (at least on this question) persists among white Dems, with agreement *falling* (and disagreement increasing) 25%->14% across this same period.
3/n Similarly, the share that 'agree' that prejudice and discrimination holds back minorities fell nearly 25 points among white indeps (34%->9.2%) and 16 points mong white Republicans (31.7%->16.1%). Curiously, we also see a decline among white Dems (80.9%->64.7%)
