Our paper on the impacts of systemic forces (privilege disparities, shared stereotypes, nonverbal messages, cultural narratives, segregation) on racial attitudes (& how attitudes shape those systems) is the cover article for Nature Reviews Psychology July 2023!

@doc_thoughts Your point makes me think of this cool paper by @doctaphia, where they examined BHM displays in schools: majority White schools focused on celebrating individual achievements vs. majority Black schools focused more on recognition of systemic barriers.
