Not sure where to put this, so I'll throw it in here:
A recent research paper came to a very interesting conclusion:
Quote
How do racial attitudes shape policy preferences in the era of Black Lives Matter and increasingly liberal views on racial issues? A large body of research finds that highlighting the benefits of progressive policies for racial minorities undermines support for those policies.
https://osf.io/tdkf3/What this tells me, essentially, is that while public opinion on racial issues has ostensibly gotten more liberal over the past 7 years or so, a lot of that is actually virtue signalling. People are probably not nearly as woke was they claim to be when talking to pollsters. When push comes to shove, a lot of them are not willing to put money where their mouth is.
