Shocking Racial Attitudes: Black G.I.s in Europe
研究二战期间英国本土与黑人美国士兵的积极接触如何持久减少反少数族裔偏见，通过2010年数据发现驻扎地更少极右翼支持、更少隐性偏见和种族歧视。
Abstract Can attitudes towards minorities, an important cultural trait, be changed? We show that the presence of African American soldiers in the UK during World War II reduced anti-minority prejudice, a result of the positive interactions which took place between soldiers and the local population. The change has been persistent: in locations in which more African American soldiers were posted there are fewer members of and voters for the UK’s leading far-right party, less implicit bias against blacks and fewer individuals professing racial prejudice, all measured around 2010. Our results point towards intergenerational transmission from parents to children as the most likely explanation.
