College education does not replace racism with ideology in racial policy preferences.
Evidence
The data support hypothesis 7 quite well, then. The ordering of predictive power among these various predispositions is quite parallel among college-educated and noncollege-educated whites: symbolic racism in particular, and racial attitudes in general, are considerably stronger than are nonracial predispositions even among the collegeeducated. Moreover, all these predispositions together account considerably better for policy preferences among the college-educated: as Table 20.8 shows, in each case the total r-squared is almost twice as high as it is for the less educated. There is no evidence that a college education leads to a replacement of racism by ideology as the key determinant of these policy preferences. — John T.
