Study: Whites Believe Declining Prejudice Against Blacks Comes At Their Expense | TPMDC: It's a phenomenon that any observer of modern U.S. politics senses, but now we have a study documenting it: Despite all the evidence to the contrary, white Americans believe that African Americans' social progress in society is coming at their expense.
A new study conducted by a couple of professors at Harvard Business School and Tufts University reports that 'whites believe that racism against whites has increased significantly, as racism against blacks has decreased.'
The report, published in the May edition of peer-reviewed Perspectives on Psychological Science, is based on a nationwide survey of 208 blacks and 209 whites who were chosen as a representative demographic sample of the wider U.S.' population of whites and blacks, said Tuft's Associate Professor of Psychology Sam Sommers.
