TLDR
It is shown that decreases in perceived bias against Blacks over the past six decades are associated with increases in perception of bias against Whites, reflecting Whites’ view of racism as a zero-sum game.Abstract:
Although some have heralded recent political and cultural developments as signaling the arrival of a postracial era in America, several legal and social controversies regarding ‘‘reverse racism’’ highlight Whites’ increasing concern about anti-White bias. We show that this emerging belief reflects Whites’ view of racism as a zero-sum game, such that decreases in perceived bias against Blacks over the past six decades are associated with increases in perceived bias against Whites—a relationship not observed in Blacks’ perceptions. Moreover, these changes in Whites’ conceptions of racism are extreme enough that Whites have now come to view anti-White bias as a bigger societal problem than anti-Black bias.read more

The role of stereotyping in system‐justification and the production of false consciousness
John T. Jost,Mahzarin R. Banaji +1 more
TL;DR: System-justification as discussed by the authors is a psychological process that contributes to the preservation of existing social arrangements even at the expense of personal and group interest, and it is argued that the notion of justification is necessary to account for previously unexplained phenomena, such as the participation by disadvantaged individuals and groups in negative stereotypes of themselves, and the consensual nature of stereotypic beliefs despite differences in social relations within and between social groups.
