--it seems quite the stretch in logic to jump from slavery to 2020 when the demographic mix has changed so drastically.-- gemlaoshi, can you explain more about your concern with demographics -- slavery vs 2020? i'm not sure how important demographic consistency is, though researchers seem to have addressed that in various ways, as mentioned in the materials and methods section. honestly, i did not read that section closely, as i was more interested in the discussion. at the level of pnas research, i usually trust the methods, as they are usually beyond my capacity to evaluate. my understanding of the research is that folks (both blacks and whites) who currently live in former slavery areas have a significantly higher level of implicit bias (unconsciously racist) than folks who live outside those areas. other take-aways for me: >The implicit biases of Black and White residents [in slavery areas] were ... greater pro-White biases among Whites but with pro-Black biases among Blacks. The same inequalities that cue stereotypes in the mind of White respondents may cue discrimination in the minds of Black residents. >implicit forms of prejudice may persist even when explicit prejudice recedes...[folks believe and say they are not racist but are found to have unconscious racist bias] >these results suggest that in efforts to remediate implicit bias, more attention should be given to modifying social environments as opposed to changing the attitudes of individuals.
