| Summary: | The current study finds that Detroit area white Evangelical Protestants are less likely than are white Mainline Protestants and Catholics to believe that housing discrimination exists. However, white Evangelicals are more likely than are white non-Evangelicals to prefer living in racially integrated neighborhoods. This paper maintains that Evangelical Protestants’ reliance upon freewill individualist cultural tools, which de-emphasize structural inequality and racial group distinctions, explain such findings. Nonetheless, white Evangelicals and white non-Evangelicals maintain similar support for and opposition to open housing policies. |
