Racialization: Michael Tesler’s theory that all political positions come down to racial bias. - Slate Magazine

Racialization: Michael Tesler’s theory that all political positions come down to racial bias. - Slate Magazine: "Even presidential pets were viewed through the same lens. Tesler showed 1,000 YouGov respondents a picture of a Portuguese water dog and asked how favorably they felt toward it. Half saw the dog introduced as Bo Obama, and half as Ted Kennedy’s dog, Splash. (Both political dogs are the same breed, but the picture was of Obama’s.) Those with negative feelings toward blacks thought less of Obama’s dog."
