THEY LOVE HATING WHITE PEOPLE?
—“Replacing “jews” with “whites” causes liberals to agree with various (non genocidal) antisemitic statements of Hitler.”— Bernstein and Bleske-Rechek (2023)
Bernstein and Bleske-Rechek (2023) conducted a study examining how agreement with prejudicial statements varies depending on the target group and political affiliation. The researchers took quotes from Adolf Hitler (anti-Jew), Robin DiAngelo (anti-White), and Stephen Douglas (anti-Black), and created variations by replacing the target group in each quote.The study found that for 7 out of 9 quotes, agreement was highest when the statements were framed as anti-White, compared to anti-Jew or anti-Black versions. This pattern held true across political ideologies, with liberals showing the highest levels of agreement with anti-White statements.Specifically regarding Hitler’s quotes, the results showed that agreement was much higher when the original anti-Jew statements were modified to be anti-White. This finding supports the claim that replacing “Jews” with “Whites” in Hitler’s statements led to increased agreement, particularly among liberals.
