Traditional segregationist attitudes remain politically relevant even when modern racism is accounted for

Evidence

Still, prejudice plays a role. In particular, there is evidence suggesting that “oldfashioned” prejudice retains contemporary political relevance. McClendon (1985) reported a connection between support for school busing and traditional segregationist attitudes net of the effect of modern racism. Jacobson (1985) found similar results for affirmative action attitudes. It is not the case, in sum, that prejudice needs new avenues of expression. — John T.
