Race does not reliably predict Islamophobia in this sample.
Evidence
Because previous studies have established that Whites tend to exhibit more discriminatory attitudes than non- Whites (e.g., Ponterotto et al., 1995), and that Whites display slightly more I-AB than their non-White counterparts (Lee et al., 2009), we expected correlations between race and the IS. Although we did find correlations in the expected direction (rs from . to .10), the results were not significant and did not replicate the findings of past studies. — Sherman A. Lee, Chelsea A.

- QUESTION: Was the null result a power problem or a genuine sign that Islamophobia cuts across racial lines? Worth chasing with a larger, more diverse sample.
