White racial resentment is the real reason for welfare cuts

This is an excellent article on white racial resentment and it’s impact on views of the safety net.

It states: “White Americans are more likely to favor welfare cuts when they believe that their status is threatened and that minorities are the main beneficiaries of safety net programs, the study says.

The findings suggest that political efforts to cut welfare programs are driven less by conservative principles than by racial anxiety, the authors conclude.”

Sad!
