Sharing a link to a Guardian article about an experiment described as follows:
This January, they canvassed 800 homes, conducting half their conversations with white respondents and half with people of color. Each respondent was shown two flyers. The first used classic dog whistling, taken from a real Republican mailer now circulating in Minnesota. Arguing for more tax cuts, an unnamed candidate describes his opponents as “demanding more sanctuary cities for criminal and illegal aliens.”
From there, half the respondents were shown a flyer detailing a progressive populist agenda silent on race – the settled wisdom of the class-left. The other half were shown a race-class narrative that describes how certain politicians use racial division to cleave us from each other in order to gain and hold economic power.
See the results here.
I have little to add but felt that everyone here could benefit from reading it. You might want to skip the comments over there — often such threads are informative, but in this case they just seem tedious and distract from the data presented.
My advance apologies for heading to work instead of sticking around to comment further.
