On Friday, Hot Air<\/a> posted an article that a Yale study that proved exactly the opposite of what it was trying to prove.<\/p>\n

The article includes the Yale writeup of the study:<\/p>\n

New research suggests that bias may also shape daily interactions between racial minorities and white people, e<\/span>ven those whites who tend to be less biased<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to new research by Cydney Dupree, assistant professor of organizational behavior at Yale SOM, white liberals tend to downplay their own verbal competence in exchanges with racial minorities, compared to how\u00a0other white Americans act in such exchanges. The study is scheduled for publication in the\u00a0Journal of Personality and Social Psychology<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The team found that<\/span> Democratic candidates used fewer competence-related words in speeches delivered to mostly minority audiences than they did in speeches delivered to mostly white audiences.<\/a>\u00a0The difference wasn\u2019t statistically significant in speeches by Republican candidates<\/span>, though \u201cit was harder to find speeches from Republicans delivered to minority audiences,\u201d Dupree notes. There was no difference in Democrats\u2019 or Republicans\u2019 usage of words related to warmth. \u201cIt was really surprising to see that for nearly three decades, Democratic presidential candidates have been engaging in this predicted behavior.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In plain English, that says that Democratic candidates talked down to minority audiences and Republican candidates did not. Isn’t that a form of unconscious racism?<\/p>\n

The article includes a chart of median income of ethnic groups in America. Please follow the link to see the chart. Average white Americans are not the highest earners in the nation.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

The correlate here is not race, but education. Particularly what kind of education, as the Asian-Americans represented tend to be highly educated with technical skills in high demand. Indian Americans average 80% higher incomes than White Americans. Black immigrants to the United States make $15,000 a year more than American-born Blacks<\/a>. Race is not the variable that matters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If liberals really wanted to help minorities who are lower on the socioeconomic ladder, improving our public education system would be the obvious answer. And, of course, there is no institution in America harder to reform than our union-dominated public school system.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s easier to accuse conservative Republicans of racism than to fix the schools. Also, if you fix the schools, you might lose the issue as a talking point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
