White Americans may view diversity and multiculturalism more negatively as the U.S. moves toward becoming a minority-majority nation, UCLA psychologists report.

As part of their study, the researchers divided 98 white Americans from all regions of the country — half male, half female, with an average age of 37 — randomly into two groups. One group was told that whites will no longer be the majority in the U.S. by 2050; in fact, this is likely to be true as soon as 2043, according to some projections. The second group was told that whites would retain their majority status in the U.S. through at least 2050. All participants were then asked a series of questions about their views on diversity.

“Whites feel lukewarm about diversity when they are told that they are about to lose their majority status in the United States for the first time,” said Yuen Huo, UCLA professor of psychology and the study’s senior author.

    Tork does post AC. He admitted it himself recently! You do remember when you admitted that, don't you, Tork?

    Here's the proof, in case you forgot already:

    To quote you, Tork, with the relevant emphasis added:

    Personally I think my remarks there, both posted at +2 and that I had posted anonymously, should have been modded down for visibility reasons and to teach me to keep the discussions from getting derailed.

    So, Tork, you are a self-admitted anonymous shitposter.

    I've figured it out! You are Tork, but you don't want anybody to know, so you're trying to throw everybody off by accusing everyone else of being you! Pretty sneaky, but I've seen through it. Give it up buddy, you've been found out; stop with all the logical fallacies and dumb shit, and stop trolling with that brainwashing technique, proof by repeated assertion, because nobody's dumb enough to fall for it no matter how many times you repeat it.
