Thanks for your commments. You are correct about systemic racism, but the data show that very poor Whites support Blacks and other ethnic and racial minorities more strongly than highly educated Whites do on a wide variety of indicators. Very poor or poorly educated Whites also marry people of color at higher rates than educated middle class White people. You are also correct that there is a powerful (and incorrect) stereotype that Black Americans are less sensitive to physical pain than Whites are. But this does not negate these findings. I would predict that very poor Whites are less prone to this stereotype than are the educated middle class White people (e.g., nurses) who have been shown to accept racial stereotpyes about pain. Having said all that, I strongly agree that marrying a person of color does not guarantee that someone isn’t racist. Systemic racism is so powerful that practically everyone is racist in at least some ways.
