Summary

This study reveals that traditional racism, defined as belief in out-group inferiority, still strongly predicts ethnic majority attitudes. A new, indirect racism, based on cultural differences, also influences these attitudes.

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Political Science

Background:

  • Scholarship suggests traditional racism is unrelated to contemporary attitudes.
  • A new form of racism, based on cultural differences, may be emerging.
  • Empirical assessment requires clear conceptualization and structural equation modeling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To empirically assess both 'old' and 'new' racism.
  • To examine the association between racism, cultural difference beliefs, and general attitudes.
  • To analyze data from representative surveys in four European countries.

Main Methods:

  • Secondary analysis of parallel representative surveys (N = 3242).
  • Assessed endorsement of racism and belief in cultural difference.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Utilized structural equation models to analyze mean-level expression and explanatory value.

    • Main Results:

    • Racism was strongly related to ethnic majority attitudes for six of seven out-group targets.
    • Mean-level endorsement of racism was low.
    • Belief in cultural difference mediated the relationship between British racism and attitudes toward Afro-Caribbeans.

    Conclusions:

    • Traditional racism remains a significant predictor of ethnic majority attitudes.
    • A new, indirect form of racism, mediated by cultural difference beliefs, is evident.
    • Methodological rigor in conceptualization and modeling is crucial for accurate racism assessment.
