In our new study using data from 20,000+ Americans, we find that both Black and White Americans will endorse symbolic racism. When people view economic inequality as justified, they are more likely to attribute racial disparities to individual effort rather than discrimination.
The full paper, published in Political Psychology (2025), offers the largest examination to date of symbolic racism among Black Americans and its links to system justification. https://t.co/YnFkXbJtP0

Thanks @RepZoeLofgren and @sciencedems for spearheading oversight from Congress and corroborating my scientific integrity concerns.
My work here is done. https://t.co/Ib4OtlcJoL
UPDATE 🎉
For the first time since 1957, and after a long 6 years, the annual exit survey required of all US PhDs *WILL* ask voluntary sexual orientation and gender identity questions. Policymakers can now understand and address LGBTQ+ disparities in STEM, for decades to come 🏳️🌈

My latest for @Nature: AI's environmental costs are soaring. The new energy-hungry models for video, text, and image could create an energy crisis - and impact drinking water reserves. We urgently need action from industry, researchers, and legislators. https://t.co/1zT0mMaP4f
