Our main contribution is that we show the effect of SES on anti-immigrant attitudes is stronger among majority group members, where lower-SES individuals hold the most exclusionary views. And yet, at the highest SES levels, differences between majority and minority group members almost disappear.

We examine how the interaction between ethnic group power and SES shapes anti-immigrant attitudes. First, using ESS and EPR data, we show that majority groups are more likely than minority groups to hold anti-immigrant attitudes, and that SES is negatively associated with such attitudes overall.

After having a blast at #SSSReligion, I am on my way to Germany to attend the Immigration, Integration, and Attitudes Workshop hosted by my alma mater #ZEW #MZESUniMannheim. Can’t wait to present my work on anti-immigrant attitudes in Europe.
