White‑liberal outgroup preference

Representative U.S. surveys show a reproducible shift where liberal White respondents report warmer feelings toward non‑White groups than toward Whites, a pattern that emerged in recent decades and spikes after salient racial events (e.g., the George Floyd protests). The effect scales with ideological intensity, replicates across multiple U.S. datasets (ANES, VOTER, weekly polls), and is weaker or absent in comparable Anglo and continental surveys abroad. — If concentrated among a politically active subgroup, this shift reshapes how parties, media, and institutions interpret racial signaling, coalition strategy, and the political salience of 'wokeness.'
