    ... several topics in this forum that, somehow, whites are the racists. Well, here's an interesting study done by ANES (The American National Election Study), back during the 2020 election cycle.



    This visualization from the 2020 American National Election Studies (ANES) that shows how members of the four major racial/ethnic groups in the U.S. rated each other on the classic “feeling thermometer” scale.

    Every group shows at least some ingroup bias (rating their own group highest or tied for highest).
    Whites are the most even-handed — least differentiation between groups
    Non-White respondents (especially Black and Hispanic) tend to rate Whites lower than they rate their own group or other non-White groups
    Overall, most ratings are in the positive range (65–80), so it’s not extreme hostility, but there are clear relative differences

    This comes from the American National Election Studies (ANES), which has been the gold-standard national survey on American voting behavior and political at udes since 1948. It’s jointly run by the University of Michigan and Stanford, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), and widely used in thousands of peer-reviewed academic papers. The data here is from the combined pre- and post-election waves of the 2020 Time Series Study (preliminary release, March 2021).

    The chart itself was made by political science researcher L.J. Zigerell (ljzigerell.com) using the publicly released ANES data — no original analysis beyond averaging the feeling thermometer scores and plotting them.
    I thought this was interesting because it’s one of the few large, nationally representative datasets that lets us compare how each group feels about the others using the same measure.

    an 83% confidence interval isn't particularly high, as scientific studies go

    do people answer surveys like this honestly?

    "feelings thermometer" is kinda squishy all by itself

    What's the point of this thread? Is it self affirmation help for yoni to convince himself he's not racist?

    obviously, the study proves that white people are less racist than others
