As UC Irvine political science professor Michael Tesler explains on the Monkey Cage
blog, actual economic difficulty doesn’t seem to increase racial resentment. “Multiple
studies, using several different surveys, have shown that overall levels of racial
resentment were virtually unchanged by the economic crash of 2008,” Tesler writes.
“Some data even suggests that racial prejudice slightly declined during the height
of economic collapse in the fall of 2008.”
