Large minorities of disadvantaged groups implicitly favor outgroups over their own

Evidence

Allport’s insight concerning the role of societal and cultural pressures helps to explain the prevalence of “self-hatred” and outgroup favoritism among members of low-status groups (e.g., Jost & Banaji, 1994; Jost, Banaji, & Nosek, 2004; Lewin, 1948; Sidanius & Pratto, 1999). Experimental and field studies have demonstrated that members of disadvantaged groups often hold ambivalent, conflicted attitudes about their own group memberships and surprisingly favorable attitudes toward members of more advantaged groups (e.g., Jost & Burgess, 2000; Jost, Pelham, & Carvallo, 2002). For instance, Sniderman and Piazza (1993) found in a large, nationally representative sample that African American respondents generally accepted unfavorable stereotypes of their own group as lazy, irresponsible, and violent. In fact, they endorsed these stereotypes even more strongly than European American respondents did. Jost et al. (2004) found that 37.5 percent of gay and lesbian respondents held implicit attitudes that were more favorable toward heterosexuals than homosexuals, and 39.3 percent of African Americans held implicit attitudes that were more favorable toward the European American outgroup than the African American ingroup. — , Rudman, Laurie A - On the Nature of…, 1403 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
