A study by a leftist finds that leftists patronize minorities; no surprise there

We know that the Democrat party is racist today just like it was racist when it fought the Civil War to keep slavery legal, when it founded the KKK, when it passed all the Jim Crow laws, and when it instituted a welfare system that destroys poor Black families.

Today Democrats say that unlike Asian Americans and Jewish Americans Black Americans can only succeed if white leftists help them.

We see Democrats ignoring the mass shootings of Blacks in Democrat run cities and we also see that Democrats refuse to go against the teacher's unions in order to allow inner city Blacks to get a decent education; going so far as to label letting Blacks pick their schools as "racist".

Hence it's not surprising that a study shows that "liberals" , ie leftists and Democrats, tend to speak in patronizing ways to minority audiences.

The study was done back in 2018 by academics from Princeton and Yale, hardly bastions of racism although Yale is named after a slave trader.

Cydney Dupree is a professor at Yale who worked on the study. She said:

“It was kind of an unpleasant surprise to see this subtle but persistent effect,” Dupree said in a press release. “Even if it’s ultimately well-intentioned, it could be seen as patronizing.”

African-Americans typically are stereotyped in American society as less competent and white liberals’ behavior toward them might reflect this bias, Dupree said.


This is amazing on multiple levels.

First it's clear that if a leftist like Dupree says the effect is real it's unlikely that she's making it up.

The fact that she's surprised reveals to us how leftists view themselves as superior.

But most interestingly is her statement that society views Blacks as less competent.

What she's really saying is she views Blacks as less competent.  Conservatives say that Blacks can succeed without special help or lower standards but leftists say that Blacks need both. Clearly conservatives believe that Blacks, given a decent education, can be just as competitive as whites but leftists don't think that's the case.
