Black racial stereotypes in these samples depend entirely on social class, not race alone.

Evidence

The Study 1 results for Black professionals and poor Blacks explain the previously obtained nondescript stereotype for Blacks as a whole. That is, in the previous studies, the two distinct subgroups apparently had canceled each other out, leaving the generic group in the middle. In these data, the content of Black racial stereotypes depends entirely on social class (cf. Bayton et al., 1956; Smedley & Bayton, 1978). Along these class-oriented lines, participants did not distinguish poor people by race: Poor Blacks, poor Whites, and all welfare recipients were incompetent and not warm. — Susan T. Fiske et al., A Model of (Often Mixed) Stereotype…, 157

• SHARE: Worth sending to anyone running stereotype research — the subgroup-cancellation finding explains flat ‘generic group’ ratings and warns against rating broad labels alone.
