"White Men Can't Jump": Evidence for the Perceptual Confirmation of Racial Stereotypes Following a Basketball Game

Jeff Stone, *W. Perry, *John M. Darley*




An experiment was conducted to demonstrate the perceptual confirmation of racial stereotypes about Black and White athletes. In a 2 x 2 design, target race (Black vs. White) and target athleticism (perceived athletic vs. unathletic) were manipulated by providing participants with a photograph of a male basketball player. Participants then listened to a college basketball game and were asked to evaluate the target's athletic abilities, individual performance, and contribution to his team' s performance. Multivariate analyses showed only a main effect for target race on the measures of ability and team performance. Whereas the Black targets were rated as exhibiting significantly more athletic ability and having played a better game, White targets were rated as exhibiting significantly more basketball intelligence and hustle. The results suggest that participants relied on a stereotype of Black and White athletes to guide their evaluations of the target's abilities and performance.

That backs up ''''''that'''''' theory.

Hmm. So Black people are better at Basketball than white people.

Well white people are better at swimming than black people!

Try telling Jonathan Edwards that.

Black peopple have greater muscle density than white folk so they will be better at some sports. It is also the reason they are not great at swimming.

Questions is a racist twat who is well aware of his fears and shortcomings and rather than face them hides behind a mask of Bravado which, far from having the desired effect of making him look like he doesn't care what people think of him actually has the opposite effect and lets everyone know what a vulnerable little fool he is.

And anybody who watched Tarzan will know that as fact, Every time he got chased by tribesmen he allways headed for the nearest lake and they rarely went in after him.

No, that proves black people are CLEVERER than white people. There were piranhas in there.

They were just whimps, Tarzan could out swim the piranhas and still find time to fight a crocodile.

Ah, but was Tarzan even white?

All those muppets in the Christian church have depicted Jesus Christ as a white man even though he wasn't.

He was on my telly, but then again it was only a black & white tv so he did'nt have a lot of choice really.

No ..................... now you are going to suggest he is not even amusing ............. also the opposite of the apparent desired effect.

Of course he was white – he was the Earl of Greystoke. You don't think they let blacks in the aristocracy, do you?

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Yes, but wasn't Tarzans mum a monkey or something?

Now that would be the sort of thing the aristocracy get up to I imagine.

That and slamming each others balls in the door at Eton.

Are you talking about Eton Welsby, the TV Sport presenter? I didn't know he bowled from the pavilion end.

Yes, yes thats the chap! always keen to get down to the members end and face a couple of balls.

Tarzan's son had the many-layered, part-racist name of Boy, so i am thinking that perhaps Mr T(arzan) wasn't the smartest father in the jungle. I remember Boy being trapped in a spider's web 3 or 4 times a week too, so he was obviously something of a simpleton himself.

................ and very small.

Who was Ji then? he also hung around with Tarzan and Cheetah.

Incidentally "Boy" is a great name for male offspring, keeps things simple.

I think "Ji" was "boy" before Tarzan could think of a name for him.

Piranhas in Africa? Are you sure?
