移民群体在当地的存在是否增加了白色人对移民的敌意？大多数研究发现，多样化的社区减少了白色对少数民族和移民的反对。然而，大多数在较高地理位置的研究发现了相反的效果。我们确认了2009-2012年英格兰和威尔士的这种模式。然而，语境研究是开放的选择偏见，这是本文的主要贡献。不同社区的白色宽容是种族间接触的积极影响的结果，还是源于白色的逃离，反移民的白人离开不同的地区，但作为激进的移民反对者留在更广泛的地区？我们提供了我们所知道的第一次尝试，以跟踪在一段时间内从当地地区的入境和出境移民以及居留者的意见。我们使用20年的大规模地理编码的英国纵向数据，并发现只有有限的证据与白色飞行的选择效果。
Does the local presence of immigrant groups increase White hostility to immigration? Most research finds that diverse neighborhoods reduce White opposition to minorities and immigration. However, most studies at higher geographies find the reverse effect. We confirm this pattern for England and Wales for 2009-2012. Yet, contextual studies are open to selection bias, which is where this article makes its main contribution. Is White tolerance in diverse neighborhoods the result of a positive effect of inter-ethnic contact, or does it arise from White flight, with anti-immigrant Whites exiting diverse areas but remaining within wider geographies as radicalized opponents of immigration? We provide the first attempt we are aware of to track the opinions of in- and out-migrants, as well as stayers, from local areas over an extended period. We use 20 years of large-scale geocoded British longitudinal data and find only limited evidence of selection effects associated with White flight.
