Abstract
An attempt is made to determine whether the strong anti-Negro feelings in the Deep South is attributable to the prevalence of generally anti-democratic, ethnocentric persons in that area. It was found that those persons who were favorable toward the Negro were generally favorable toward other groups, and those persons who had unfavorable attitudes toward Jews and other ethnic groups were generally anti-Negro. Still, a large portion of the sample was low on general ethnocentrism but definitely anti-Negro. Situational, historical, and cultural factors appear to be of considerable, perhaps major, import, in addition to personality dynamics, in solving the "American dilemma."
