Connecting the Others: White Anti-Semitic and Anti-Muslim Views in America

Joseph Gerteis et al.

Summary: Drawing on recent research on otherness and social boundaries in the United States, this study investigates white Americans' attitudes towards Muslims and Jews. The findings reveal that although anti-Muslim sentiment is more prevalent, there is empirical evidence to suggest a connection between the two forms of othering, indicating a shared cultural logic of ethno-religious boundary-making. Latent class analysis demonstrates that anti-Semitism is nested within anti-Muslim attitudes, with political and religious identifications consistently predicting opinion. The study concludes with a reflection on the politicization of boundary-making and the relationship between extreme and mainstream views of the other.

Offline events and online hate

Yonatan Lupu et al.

Summary: Online hate speech is a growing problem, as extremists exploit social media platforms for recruitment and coordination of offline violence. Existing studies have focused on analyzing online hate speech, but have not classified different types across mainstream and fringe platforms. By using machine learning, we analyze 7 types of hate speech on 6 interconnected online platforms. Our findings reveal that offline trigger events lead to increases in various types of hate speech, which may not have a direct connection to the underlying events. This raises new research questions about the relationship between offline events and online speech, as well as the implications for content moderation.

Changing In-Group Boundaries: The Effect of Immigration on Race Relations in the United States

Vasiliki Fouka et al.

Summary: The study on the impact of Mexican immigration on white Americans' attitudes and behaviors toward Black Americans indicates that changes in one group can affect the entire web of intergroup relations in diverse societies. The exposure to one minority leads to recategorization of other minorities as in- or out-groups, reflecting a context-dependent categorization framework.

Taking up the tiki torch: Understanding alt-right interest using internet search data

Anna M. Kyler et al.

Summary: This study examines predictors of county-level Internet search volume for alt-right content. The results indicate that counties with larger percentages of college graduates, highly educated non-white and immigrant groups, and higher poverty levels for college graduates tend to have a higher search volume for alt-right content. This suggests that the alt-right appeals to college-educated whites who perceive threats to their economic and social status.

President Obama and the Emergence of Islamophobia in Mass Partisan Preferences

Michael Tesler

Summary: This article argues that the association between Islamophobia and opposition to President Obama played a significant role in shaping Americans' partisan preferences, with attitudes towards Muslims becoming an independent predictor. Analysis from cross-sectional data, panel surveys, and a survey experiment showed that attitudes towards Muslims had a stronger impact on voter preferences during Obama's presidency than before, particularly in relation to Republican congressional candidates. These results have implications for American politics in the Trump era.

The electoral consequences of anti-Muslim prejudice

Ashley Jardina et al.

Summary: Research shows that pervasive anti-Muslim sentiment and negative stereotypes exist among White Americans, influencing their presidential voting choices consistently and enduringly regardless of specific candidates or elections. The racialization of Muslim Americans has increased their salience in the minds of Whites and national political discourse, making attitudes towards Muslims a consistent predictor of White voters' evaluations of presidential candidates since at least 2004. This conclusion is supported by empirical evidence from the American National Election Studies conducted between 2004 and 2020, using measures of group affect and negative stereotypes of Muslim people.
