Understanding the intersection of race and policy is crucial. How can we create policies that address inequality without reinforcing stereotypes?
- More accurate media representation
- Policies that focus on need, not race
Let’s work toward a fairer future. 🌍

When asked about affirmative action, many Whites expressed anger.
Is it racial prejudice, or do they genuinely see it as unfair? 🤷‍♀️

A clever experiment revealed that 42% of Southern Whites were bothered by a Black family moving next door—but wouldn’t admit it openly.
Racism still lingers, but it’s often hidden behind "principled objections." 😶

In a study, when welfare recipients were described as Black, people were more likely to believe they’d abuse the system.

There is more negative perceptions of Black welfare moms than white welfare moms. (60% vs. 32%)
What does this say about implicit bias? 🤔

Why do many Americans oppose welfare? Research shows racial stereotypes, like the belief that Blacks are "lazy," heavily influence welfare attitudes.
So is welfare policy being judged through a racial lens? 👀

Did you know? News media over-represents Black individuals in poverty stories, skewing public perception.

62% of poor people in news images are Black vs. 29% in reality.

How does this impact policy support? 📉

While many support civil liberties for minorities, affirmative action often faces backlash. Is it due to racial animus or principled objections?
A majority of Whites oppose it—but why? 🤷‍♂️

Policies like affirmative action and school busing aim to address racial inequalities. But do they achieve their goals, or do they fuel further division? 🤔
Examples:
- Affirmative action
- Voting Rights Act
- School busing
