Study shows white liberals view blacks as stupid, downplay intelligence to get along with them

A new study suggests that white Americans who hold liberal socio-political views use language that makes them appear less competent in an effort to get along with racial minorities.

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 other white Americans act in such exchanges. The study is scheduled for publication in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

The researchers found that liberal individuals were less likely to use words that would make them appear highly competent when the person they were addressing was presumed to be black rather than white. No significant differences were seen in the word selection of conservatives based on the presumed race of their partner. “It was kind of an unpleasant surprise to see this subtle but persistent effect,” Dupree says. “Even if it’s ultimately well-intentioned, it could be seen as patronizing.”

Dupree and Fiske suspect that the behavior stems from a liberal person’s desire to connect with other races. One possible reason for the “competence downshift,” as the authors describe it, is that, regardless of race, people tend to downplay their competence when they want to appear likeable and friendly. But it’s also possible that “this is happening because people are using common stereotypes in an effort to get along,” Dupree says.

Initial data from follow-up studies suggest that describing a black person as highly intelligent, thus reversing the stereotype, or as already highly motivated to get along with whites, thus removing the need to prove goodwill, can reduce the likelihood that a white person will downplay their competence in their interactions with the black person.

They’re talking about you, Abe.

It says racial minorities, it does not say blacks. (Although it doesn't preclude blacks)

Your posting has been very, very poor as of late.

Honestly if you can't do any better than this you need to head over to MCS, and don't come back until you've improved.

I do this too whenever I need to communicate with an old person, a toddler, a kitten or puppy, or a Mexican who doesn't speak english well.

I either do the real faggy high pitch thing with the animals and babies, and I speak slow broken english to the wetbacks.

Wow, science proving again that progressives *actually* think of Black people as lesser beings and pets?

That's a shock and not at all predictable.

There was definitely a wiggerish tone in there. Not like an deep alpha Luke Walton accent, but like an awkward Olaf I'm so stoned kinda way.
