Subordinates sometimes favor dominant groups over their own ingroups

Evidence

Deference or out-group favoritism can be regarded as a special case of asymmetrical ingroup bias, and can be said to occur when the degree of asymmetrical ingroup favoritism is so strong that subordinates actually favor dominants over their own ingroups. A well known example of such out-group favoritism can be found in the “Uncle Toming” behavior of certain Afro-Americans towards Euro-Americans (e.g., Deane, 1968). — John T. Jost and Jim Sidanius, Political Psychology, 3209
