In reply to the discussion: Hidden Racial Anxiety in an Age of Waning Racism [View all]1StrongBlackMan

You mean someone alerted on this?
Or, were you talking about this:
the racial anxiety differences between white Republicans and white Democrats are significant on the direct question, with white Republicans more likely than white Democrats to say a majority non-white country bothers them (18 percent versus 11 percent). But this apparent difference disappears with the indirect measure; when white Democrats are given the opportunity to register this opinion indirectly, those expressing concern over racial changes jumps from 11 percent to 33 percent, while white Republicans expressing concern rises from 18 percent to 30 percent.

I thought that was interesting too. I think conversations on DU bear that out, though.

That link takes me to a survey about same sex marriage, as does the similar link in the OP article.

But that page says nothing about race or race anxiety whatsoever, it is about same sex marriage. nt

I don't understand why allowing more minorities into university is racist to them.
