Comprehensive racism study that got instantly buried when it came out: White people have the lowest in-group preference and the highest out-group tolerance Black people have the highest level of in-group racial bias and lowest out-group tolerance (against white people). Hispanics, Asians, and black people all rank white people dead last in their out-group preference.
