Opposition to Race-Targeting: Self-Interest, Stratification Ideology, or Racial Attitudes?
Kluegel, James R.; Bobo, Lawrence
American Sociological Review, v58 n4 p443-64 Aug 1993
Analyzes data from the 1990 General Social Survey for 1,150 Whites and 159 African Americans to determine public opinion toward race-targeted versus income-targeted opportunity-enhancing policies and toward race-targeted versus income-targeted equal outcomes policies. Results show the influence of group self-interest and perceived discrimination on White opposition to race-targeted policy. (GLR)
