Don't Support Obama's Health Care Reform? You Might be a Racist

Quote:
In an experiment, Tesler presents a health care overhaul policy to whites, telling some that the policy is advocated by Bill Clinton and telling others that it's advocated by Barack Obama; Tesler finds that whites with liberal racial attitudes become more supportive of the policy when they think Obama is its chief advocate, while whites with a conservative attitude become less supportive of the policy when they think of health care as an Obama policy.

This doesn't really shock me. Folks say that their disdain for the President has nothing to do with race. Anecdotally, at least, coming from the buckle of the Bible Belt, I'd have to say that such claims are utter horseshit.

At least now we're starting to see the emergence of some research which might actually bear that out.
