Description
Summary:A widely accepted but seldom examined generalization in the field of race relations is that a higher black concentration yields more negative racial attitudes. The study used aggregate- & individual-level data. The latter was taken from 1972 American Election Study of the Survey Research Center (SRC) at the U of Michigan. There were 1,884 white Rs who lived in 120 counties across the US. Combining survey & census data in a single analysis it is found that this relationship holds only for southern Rs. Outside the South, racial attitudes appear largely insensitive to the racial concentration. 1 Table. Modified AA.
