For this week's session, we have the opportunity to hear from Fawziyah Laguide and Mosi Ifatunji on their paper, "Do White Voters Prefer Black or Black Immigrant Political Candidates?" This study will investigate the support levels of the White electorate for African American versus Black immigrant candidates, exploring how nativity status influences voter preferences. By employing an online survey experiment, they aim to uncover insights into the dynamics of ethnoracism and representation in American politics.

Below is the abstract for the paper:

"Do White Voters Prefer Black or Black Immigrant Political Candidates?"

Since the end of the American Civil War and the resultant Emancipation Proclamation, we have made progress toward a more diverse and representative government (Bialik 2019, Hajnal 2020, Haynie 2001, Lublin 1997, Menifield and Shaffer 2012). It is also true that one particularly iconic demographic continues to be under-represented in the upper echelons of American government – the decedents of American slavery. While Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Cory Booker have campaigned for the Presidency, neither party has nominated or elected a descendent of American slavery to occupy the White House. We know that Black candidates often gain lower levels of support from the White electorate than White candidates (Bullock et al. 2005, Hajnal 2006, Reeves 1997, Sigelman et al. 1995, Terkildsen 1993). Currently at about 10 percent, we also know that Black immigrants are rapidly growing as a percentage of the Black population (Hamilton 2020, Kent 2007). Yet we do not know whether the nativity status of Black candidates might affect support within the White electorate. Drawing on ethnoracism theory (Aranda 2006, Aranda and Rebollo-Gil 2004, Grosfoguel 2004: 317, Grosfoguel and Georas 2000, Grosfoguel 2003) and related insights into the ways in which Americans racialize people on account of their nativity status (García 2017, Ifatunji 2016, Kim 1999, Ngai 2004, Tuan 1998), I will assess differences in support for African American and Black immigrant political candidates among members of the White electorate.
