本研究探讨了在何种程度上的种族组成的会众温和的解释黑人/白色不平等之间的白色，黑人和西班牙裔教徒。使用全国代表性的数据从一般社会调查和全国教会研究，我们发现，宗教附属的黑人和西班牙裔往往持有不同的种族态度比宗教附属的白人，但这些差异基本上消失在多种族教会。重要的是，我们发现，参加多种族集会与白人对种族不平等的解释无关，参加多种族集会的黑人实际上不太可能肯定黑人/白色不平等的结构性解释，而不是非多种族集会的黑人或多种族集会的白人。我们发现几乎没有证据表明，多种族的教会促进进步的种族观点之间的任何种族或民族的与会者。相反，我们的研究结果表明，多种族教会（1）让占主导地位的白色种族框架不受挑战，可能会影响少数民族与会者接受这种框架和/或（2）吸引更有可能首先接受这些框架的少数民族。
This study examines the extent to which the racial composition of a congregation moderates explanations for Black/White inequality among White, Black, and Hispanic congregants. Using nationally representative data from General Social Surveys and National Congregations Studies, we find that religiously affiliated Blacks and Hispanics tend to hold different racial attitudes than religiously affiliated Whites, but these differences largely disappear inside multiracial congregations. Importantly, we find that attending a multiracial congregation is unassociated with Whites' explanations for racial inequality, and Blacks who attend multiracial congregations are actually less likely to affirm structural explanations for Black/White inequality than Blacks in nonmultiracial congregations or Whites in multiracial congregations. We find little evidence that multiracial congregations promote progressive racial views among attendees of any race or ethnicity. Rather, our findings suggest that multiracial congregations (1) leave dominant White racial frames unchallenged, potentially influencing minority attendees to embrace such frames and/or (2) attract racial minorities who are more likely to embrace those frames in the first place.
