过去的研究表明，美国对福利的支持受到公民种族态度的严重影响。事实上，许多美国人认为福利领取者是贫穷的黑人（尤其是贫穷的黑人妇女），这是美国人对再分配不冷不热的一个常见解释。本文借鉴了一项新的在线调查实验，在美国，英国和加拿大的国家样本，旨在扩大研究如何种族化的政策受益人的描绘影响对再分配的态度。设计了一系列创新的调查小插图，实验性地操纵各种再分配方案受益者的族裔-种族背景。研究结果提供了，第一次，跨国家，跨领域和跨民族种族的美国文学的影响，种族线索支持再分配政策的延伸。研究结果还表明，种族显然是政策支持的重要因素，尽管其影响因背景和所考虑的种族群体而异。
Past work suggests that support for welfare in the United States is heavily influenced by citizens' racial attitudes. Indeed, the idea that many Americans think of welfare recipients as poor Blacks (and especially as poor Black women) has been a common explanation for Americans' lukewarm support for redistribution. This article draws on a new online survey experiment conducted with national samples in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada, designed to extend research on how racialised portrayals of policy beneficiaries affect attitudes toward redistribution. A series of innovative survey vignettes has been designed that experimentally manipulate the ethno-racial background of beneficiaries for various redistributive programmes. The findings provide, for the first time, cross-national, cross-domain and cross-ethno-racial extensions of the American literature on the impact of racial cues on support for redistributive policy. The results also demonstrate that race clearly matters for policy support, although its impact varies by context and by the racial group under consideration.
