Scholars of racial and ethnic politics have largely overlooked an important race-related disposition that strongly impacts salient policy preferences: racialized paternalism. This is a consequential and common disposition; rooted in a desire to improve outcomes for an out-group and a belief that the out-group is incapable of improving their own outcomes without interference. Importantly, I argue that this attitude is not motivated by animus. This leads these paternalists to endorse restrictive --- albeit well-intentioned --- policies imposed upon the out-group. These misbegotten efforts are intended to improve conditions for the out-group, but in practice are tantamount to discrimination, and can cause more harm than good. I begin in Chapter 2, by outlining the literature from the social sciences on racial attitudes and highlighting the lack of attention to paternalism. I show that paternalism has been historically wielded against marginalized racial groups, and explore several different ways to measure racialized paternalism against African Americans. In Chapter 3, I find that the first two approaches, based on insights from the stereotype content model, do not consistently predict support for outcomes that are racialized and paternalistic. However, the same is not true for the Black paternalism scale. In Chapter 4, I demonstrate that this original measure, derived from the novel theory presented in Chapter 2, strongly predicts support for policies that are racialized and paternalistic. However, I find that this scale also predicts support for some items that are paternalistic and not racialized. This same pattern of results holds for a general and race neutral measure of paternalism. In order to further parse the race specific impact of the Black paternalism scale in Chapter 6, I run a series of experiments. I find that the Black paternalism scale predicts higher support for a takeover of a school board in a largely African American community than an identical school board in a largely White community. This same finding does not hold for the general paternalism measure, suggesting that the Black paternalism scale is capturing some meaningfully different element that is leading to discrimination. Finally, I find evidence that a paternalistic appeal does engender increased support for drug testing welfare recipients, though not among those highest in the Black paternalism scale. I conclude by encouraging scholars of racial attitudes and political behavior to look beyond the simple like-dislike paradigm that has guided much research in this area, and to take seriously the impact of multifaceted dispositions like racialized paternalism.
