Australian voters favour darker-skinned indigenous political candidates over all others, and left-wingers have a massive bias against White men and women, new research shows.

“Public bias toward indigenous prospective candidates thus does exist, but, in our study, it favours, rather than penalises, them.”

The authors wrote that the findings could be explained by a positive “violation of expectations”, when a person with unexpectedly positive characteristics is evaluated more favourably than a person with equally positive but expected ones.

In other words, they expect Aborigines to be inferior, so when they see one capable of running for office they feel so violated they have to vote for them.

Not only but also:



They also expected to find that the more right-wing a respondent was, the more poorly they would rate indigenous candidates on both warmth and competence, due to studies showing that “right-wing ideology predicts a considerable increase of out-group hostility in the case of ethnic prejudices”.

“We uncovered the contrary: an inverted hierarchy in which darker-skinned indigenous aspirant candidates fared better than all others,” the authors wrote.
