White Christian nationalist beliefs predict perceived anti-white discrimination

Evidence

Look at Panel A first. The trend for Black Americans is essentially flat. What they think about America’s relationship to Christianity has basically no influence on their belief that white Americans will experience relatively little discrimination in the next year. Now look at white Americans. The higher white Americans score on our Christian nationalism scale, the more discrimination they believe whites will experience within the next year. And the trend is highly linear, meaning that, for whites, Christian nationalism and belief in anti-white discrimination increase in lockstep with one another. — Philip S. Gorski and Samuel L. Perry, The Flag and the Cross, 93
