There has been a lot of Internet buzz about the white UCLA student who complained about Asian student behavior on campus. She has been trashed as a hater, and OneSTDV wrote about it on his blog.
Whites get called haters for anything and everything, but how do they actually stack up against Asians?
The GSS asked a sample of Americans how warmly they feel towards: 1) whites, and 2) Asians. Answers ranged from "not at all close" (1) to "very close" (9). The mean for whites towards Asians is 6.25.

"whites like the Chinese significantly more than the reverse."
ReplyDeleteOkay, but who do Chinese like the most?
It is hard for me to understand whether Chinese are just less likely to express "warm feelings" or whether they like whites/Americans less than they like others. I can imagine it is possible they could rate their "warm feelings" toward Americans lower that the reverse, yet still have that "low" rating be higher than for all the other groups.
