Conservatives More Likely to Live in Mixed-Race Households Than Leftists

At Expose Liberals, "MSNBC hates this: More conservatives than liberals belong to biracial families."

Following the links takes us to Jim Lindgren, at Volokh, "MSNBC flap: New evidence on the political views of mixed-race adopted and step-families":
Not surprisingly [in the General Social Survey], there is no statistically significant left-right political differences in the proportion of adopted or step-families that are in mixed race households. Indeed, among families with step-children or adopted children, 11 percent of conservatives were living in mixed race households compared to 10 percent of liberals living in mixed-race households.

Similarly, 9.4 percent of Republicans living in step- or adopted families were in mixed-race households, compared to only 8.8 percent of Democrats in such families. (Again, this small advantage for Republicans is not large enough to be statistically significant). If one breaks things down further by both party and political orientation, only 7.7 percent of liberal Democrats and 3.6 percent of moderate Democrats lived in mixed-race adopted or step-households, compared to an insignificantly different 10.6 percent of conservative Republicans.

Thus, there is no evidence in the GSS data that Republican, conservative, or conservative Republicans who were living with step-children or adopted children were less likely to live in mixed-race households than Democrats, liberals, liberal Democrats, or moderate Democrats in adopted or step-families. Indeed, in each instance the point estimates for living in a mixed-race household were insignificantly higher for the right side of the spectrum than for the left side.
Indeed, that's why MSNBC is Walter James "Kleagle" Casper's favorite channel. F-king racist jackboot thug.
