Scholars have suggested that White American support for welfare is related to beliefs about the racial composition of welfare recipients. While a host of observational studies lend credence to this view, it has not yet been tested using the tools of randomized inference. In this study, we do this by conducting two incentive-compatible experiments (n = 9,775) in which different participants are randomly given different signals about the share of welfare recipients who identify as Black and White. Our analysis yields four main findings. First, 86% of respondents greatly overestimate the share of welfare recipients who are Black, with the average respondent overestimating this by almost a factor of two. Second, White support for welfare is inversely related to the proportion of welfare recipients who are Black—a causal claim that we establish using treatment assignment as an instrument for beliefs about the racial composition of welfare recipients. Third, just making White participants think about the racial composition of welfare recipients reduces their support for welfare. Fourth, providing White respondents with accurate information about the racial composition of welfare recipients (relative to not receiving any information) does not significantly influence their support for welfare.

The average White person is gullible and ignorant and prone to accepting propaganda and conspiracy theories for $500.00 Alex.

That is the same group of goofies that love the Affordable Care Act, but hate Obamacare.

That is the same group that is always pushing patriotic bullshyt, but accept their news from Russians and Fox News which is owned by an Australian.

Yep. Once again, until bytch ass cowards have the same smoke for TRILLIONS we give away to the rich, then shut the fukk up about welfare, reparations, benefits, social security, student loan forgiveness, or anything else we are OWED AS TAX PAYERS.

What fukking idiot bamboozled Americans into feeling bad about government assistance when it goes to a shyt ton of others less deserving anyway.
Fukk out my face. :camby: :camby: :camby:
If “handouts” are good for the rich, then shut the fukk up about “handouts” for the poor.
