Anti-Jewish and anti-black bias project different personality traits onto each group

Evidence

Tolerance tended to correlate positively with such variables as ego strength and acceptance of external authority (acceptance, it should be noted, was said to differ from submission, but whatever the term, this was a conclusion very much at odds with that reached in The Authoritarian Personality). A relationship between bias against Jews and bias against blacks did exist, although alienated superego traits tended to he projected on Jews (for example, Jews control the country), while alienated id characteristics were projected on blacks (for example, blacks were dirty and sexually licentious). This last finding, it might be added parenthetically, was very different from what had existed in Europe, where Jews were the objects of both types of projections. — Martin Jay, The Dialectical Imagination, 710
